Same problem here - openSUSE Tumbleweed, up to date.  Output from execution and `coredumpctl info`.

Hello,

The same issue occurs for me as of last update.

App: Ghostwriter-24.02.2-1.fc40.x86_64 (I experience the same issue on 24.02.1-1 if that helps)
Distro: Fedora Linux 40 (up to date)
DE: Plasma 6.0.4-1.fc40
QT: 6.7.0-1.fc40
Kernel: Linux 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64
Video: Nvidia 550.78

The program closes with a segfault when launched from shortcut or command-line. However, the Flatpak (Flathub) does not crash for me. I have attached my coredump to provide what I can. Cheers.

Seems that's because Fedora switched it back to build with Qt5

Port to Qt6 and Remove QtFontAwesome

Completed the port to Qt6.  Qt5 support has been removed.
QtFontAwesome has also been removed and replaced with normal SVG icons.
This is due to a corner case where Qt could not find the Font Awesome
fonts when Qt was built from scratch. The port to Qt6 also has fixed
a crash on initial open that appeared recently under Qt5 mixed in
a Qt6 environment.

Fix syntax highlighting with unicode characters

Applied yet another hacky fix to the syntax highlighting issue that keeps
cropping up with various combinations of unicode characters. Cross your fingers!

Also noticed a few other bugs happened to be fixed either by this change
or by previous refactoring during the port to Qt6.
