Dear Maintainer,

In some QT applications using tables E.G. TeamTalk, when using Orca the app crashes because of [1].
[1]: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-125954

Patch exists for this bug, but it looks it is not part of the version of QT Debian provides.

Could it be possible to have this patch ported to Debian? It cause a serious issue for screen reader users.

Best regards,

Patrick Zajda

Hi,

There is exactly the same bug in the version of QT6 provided in Debian
Bookworm, which is really critical for assistive technology.
Could it be possible to backport the patch to Bookworm?

Best regards,

Hello,

The attached patch for QT5 fixes the bug on Bookworm.
I tested successfully with TeamTalk V5.17, more precisely with the
server list which is a table and crashes without this patch.
To test, I applied the patch as it is then built qtbase-opensource-src.
Then I installed patched version of libqt5gui5 and libqt5widget5, which
fixed the issue, no more crash.

I haven't got the patch for QT6.
Someone reported me the version of QT6 in testing has the fix.

Hop this helps,

Hi,

This second attached patch fixes the crash on QT6, tested on bookworm
with version 6.4.2+dfsg-10.
I found this patch on the issue page in the commits to fix the issue for
different versions.

Best regards,

Hi Patrick!

Qt 6 is a separate source package, so I am cloning this bug.

I will take care of the Qt 5 stable update.

Hi,

Is there any probability to have this patch backported to the QT6
version provided in Bookworm?

As a reminder, I tested it without issue and this bug causes a crash
when using accessibility tool I.E. assistive technology like Orca.

Fortunately this is now fixed in QT5, thanks! but it still occurs in QT6
and patch is now provided, from an official source.

Best regards,
