Hi list

I tried to start eric6_browser this morning but it crashes. On
debugging I get the
following message:

Exception "unhandled TypeError"
unable to convert a C++ 'QWebEngineFindTextResult' instance to a Python object

By commenting out the following lines in  WebBrowserView.py in eric
        #try:
        #    self.__page.findTextFinished.connect(
        #        self.__findTextFinished)
        #except AttributeError:
        #    # pre Qt 5.14
        #    pass
the program starts and seems to work nicely.

Does anyone have a clue on where to locate the bug?

The bug is reported in Debian.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=eric;dist=unstable
should show up in a minute.

Regards
Gudjon
