humm, Good point, maybe the shots come out that side.No rush, it's not like I'm changing the editor font settings every 5 minutes!
Mike, could you restrict the use/load of the Fonts in the IDE to avoid problems between OS? I mean, leave five-six clear reading Fonts that are native/incorporated in TED/Hades. Assuming the problem is the loading of fonts...
(joke) It is for those who, when they get bored, do not have many opportunities to change the sizes or types of rare fonts for code

Ok, here is a version of Ted compiled in debug mode. I have not added any debug messages as the crash appears when you click on a build in QT widget. That is prefilled automatically and I only react on changes.
Let me know if you see anything in the console.

Um, where should this be located/how should I start this? I can't run it directly as it needs to know the location of libQt5WebEngineWidgets.
Rename the Ted in the bin directory and place the debug version there.
I'm having a melt down (maybe hangover
) - I looked in /bin but couldn't see 'Ted' and never thought to use 'locate'. Actually, that isn't quite correct. The sequence required to crash is:
Open options then open 'Font Family' dropdown. Close the font selector without making any change.
Change the font size and click ok
Open options and click 'Font Family' dropdown causes immediate crash.
My guess is something isn't being re-loaded (or has been cleared/nulled) the second time that font selector is opened.
Tried redirecting output to a file just in case it's not showing in the terminal for some weird reason but no joy.
EDIT: The crash doesn't happen if I follow the same sequence but change some other option, eg 'Caret Row'

Well I cannot reproduce this issue on Linux Mint 19, so I would suggest that you specify which Linux distribution, the distribution version, which version of the Qt libraries is preinstalled. You will also need to state if you are using the Mesa drivers or proprietary drivers.
I take it that's the version on Mint 19 then? I'll probably upgrade Mint in the next month or two, I don't want to install a newer version of QT in case it breaks one of the other apps I'm using. As I said before, it's not a big deal - if it continues to happen when I next upgrade I'll let you know
The new build of Cerberus comes with Qt 5.9.2, so it shouldn't matter. As long as Ted was built against the files downloaded from the Qt Company.
Open the file qt.conf in the bin directory and add these lines:
Libraries = lib
LibraryExecutables = libexec
Translations = translations
The version of Qt that comes with Mint 19 is 5.9.5+dfsg_0ubuntu2.

That doesn't make any difference I'm afraid.
Nope, no crash here. Sorry
Currently Liberation mono but it happens with any font I choose so if I choose a new font, click ok then quit CX, restart, look at font family but not change it, change size then click ok, go back to options, try to look at font family again -> crash. It's as if changing the font size after using family dropdown is causing the dropdown to fail to populate or be inadvertantly freed.
