QT Designer Crashing when trying to change cursor style on MacOs


I'm trying to create a Qt application using Qt Designer on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1. However, I'm facing a problem: every time I try to change my cursor style or define the frame shape of my frame, the app just crashes.

Here's the summarized error log:

The rest of the program works just fine, and this problem only occurs when I attempt to change my cursor style or the frame shape.

I've already tried the following:

  • Update my MacOs to the latest version (Sonoma 14.4.1 now)
  • Update the dependencies on QT Maintenance Tool (already latest version)
  • Running QT Designer with root privileges on terminal

Solution

  • A solution that worked for me was completely uninstalling Qt using the Qt Maintenance Tool and then reinstalling it.

    Additionally, updating Qt using the same tool also fixed some problems with other widgets, but only uninstalling it completely resolved issues with the cursor style and frame shape.
