Crash while updating QLineEdit , calling setText

[Denis Ryndine]

Hello,

Took a while, but in the end I found as usually is, the problem is the user.

How I found it, I decided to replace the widget QLineEdit with a text
edit to try get a different result. And that threw me a different
ASSERT / fatal error with a trace QLineEdit wasn't throwing : it was a
 complaint that
the thread trying to update the widget is not the one owning it /  created it.

My widgent (QLineEdit specifically) updater thread wasn't the thread
where QApplication was created and started,  and where my app QDialog
and all it's contents were created, and even though that was the only
thread that updated
any of the UI/ widgets,  that's still a big big no  no.

I've added signals and slots now to the main app/ thread and the
crashes / segfaults went away.

Regards,

Denis
