Eric Crash on Text Entry - Repeatable

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Mick,

according to the data you sent it seems to be related to the QtAccessability stuff. I am not doing anything related to that in eric. Did you try to create a Python virtual environment and install eric in there?

python3 -m venv ~/eric_env
~/eric_env/bin/python3 -m pip install eric-ide

That would grab PyQt5 and related packages from PyPI and circumvent possible issues with the distribution packages.

Regards,
Detlev

Step 2 would be to check, if the installed PyQt5 and QScintilla packages are compatible. Step 3 would be to create a virtual Python environment and installe eric in there with PyQt5 and QScintilla packages from PyPI. The eric installation script will do this.
