Hey,

I just tried to upgrade to PyQt 5.14 on macOS, but a simple QtWebEngine
application like this:

results in an immediate renderer process crash, making QtWebEngine
unusable.

I tried running with "--enable-logging --v=8
--enable-in-process-stack-traces"
in the hope of getting Chromium to print more, but no luck...

There will be something from a Qt installation that is new in v5.14 that is
missing from the wheel.

At this point, I'm pretty much out of ideas... I tried running with
--single-process in the hope of getting a stacktrace, but to my surprise, that
makes things work just fine. So I'm guessing it's indeed *something* wrong
around QtWebEngineCore.framework or QtWebEngineProcess?

I too have noticed these render process crashes. I'm using the PyQt 5.14 wheels and Python 3.8.1 from python.org<http://python.org> on macOS Catalina (10.15.2). Apple's Console utility app is showing me crash reports and I have attached one. I took a quick look at the source files it mentions and the renderer seems to be trying to locate a directory containing spelling checker dictionaries (?).
