Just installed TeXstudio on Arch Linux:

$ texstudio --version
TeXstudio 2.11.2 (6191:c01fb289a5fe)

I can't use it as it crashes as soon as I try to open a file.
This is what happens: I start the program, then click on the menu "File", then "Open", then the program stops. Here is the result from the command line:

$ texstudio 

(texstudio:2194): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkwindow-x11.c:5573 drawable is not a native X11 window
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
Forced kill after recovering failed after: SIGSEGV

Abandon (core dumped)

The system journal has the following output. Just after starting TeXstudio:

nov. 21 08:23:40 archx org.gnome.Shell.desktop[836]: Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x1400007 specified for 0x1400005 (TeXstudio).

Then after the menu selection and the crash:

nov. 21 08:24:06 archx systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 2457/UID 0).
nov. 21 08:24:07 archx systemd-coredump[2458]: Process 2428 (texstudio) of user 2005 dumped core.

    I have posted this bug report. I have tried TeXmaker and got the same error (except that there was only one occurence of crash with signal SIGSEGV not 5).

    For information here is the output when run TeXsutdio with gdb:

    It crashes in QT/GTK.
    As it works anywhere else and arch is infamous here for producing strange bugs, we will not look into it.
