ab43b986f3de20ff15b6438e56bfe29428bee3b1 introduced > + d->autoSaveGroup.deleteEntry("RestorePositionForNextInstance"); autoSaveGroup can conceivably be a default constructed group, which is an invalid group without dptr by the looks of it kconfiggroup.cpp: > KConfigGroup::KConfigGroup() : d() This leads to, e.g., konsole crashing just about every time when closing any of the instance's windows because the kconfiggroup is invalid. Supposedly this should either use a different ctor for the group or guard calls to the group.
