That doesn't find anything at all:

(gdb) bt -full
No stack.

The only thing I can deduce is that it must have something to do with drawi=
ng=20
the suggested recipients. It only occurs when I type the third character, a=
nd=20
only if that matches existing contacts - I can type random strings without=
=20
issue.
This would also match the wayland error I get (inlined from the bug report):

qt.qpa.wayland.textinput: virtual void=20
QtWaylandClient::QWaylandTextInputv3::disableSurface(wl_surface*) Try to=20
disable surface 0x62e32b0fb590 with focusing surface 0x62e32a255420
zxdg_exporter_v2#75: error 0: surface must be an xdg_toplevel

Odd. I have never seen a cpp program exit so hard without at least producin=
g a=20
coredump.
