Segmentation fault ( QtWebEngineCore )

Hi there,

I am getting a crash every time I try to open either "Prim Composition" , "Taxonomy Editor", or " LayerStack composition". From the crash repot it appears that calling into QtWebEngineCore cause the issue.

Specs:

USD Version: v22.11

Hi @hamedsabri, thanks for giving this a try and logging this.

I have not seen this particular crash but I have seen other crashes related to QtWebEngine on other environments. Could you give these a try and share the outcome, please?

From a shell, launch USDView via python and having QtWebEngineWidgets to be imported before anything else. For example:
```
python -c "from PySide6 import QtWebEngineWidgets;from pxr import Usdviewq;Usdviewq.Launcher().Run()" /path/to/Kitchen_set.usd
```
and then confirming if the "Prim Composition" , "Taxonomy Editor", or " LayerStack Composition" widgets continue to crash.

On your current environment, creating a QtWebEngineView widget, running python to a script with the following:

import sys
from PySide6 import QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])

widget = QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineView()
widget.resize(300, 150)
widget.show()

sys.exit(app.exec())

(or a one-liner, for convenience):

python -c "import sys;from PySide6 import QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets;app = QtWidgets.QApplication([]);widget = QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineView();widget.resize(800, 600);widget.show();sys.exit(app.exec())"

This should pop-up a blank window: and print information about the qt.webenginecontext:

Also, was PySide6 installed via pip or built from source?

Hi @chrizzFTD Thanks for the quick reply.

I still get a crash but this time it happens in the pyside6 library.

Hi @hamedsabri, thanks for the feedback.

I've not been able to get a Mac to try this on and my web searches have not brought anything meaningful, so I'm afraid I don't have any updates yet. In the meantime, the only two next steps that I can think of are:

PySide6-6.5.1.1 was released earlier this month, it would be good to confirm if the crash continues on that version.
If crash continues, and if you are in control of building USD from source, is there a chance you could give this a try with PySide2 instead? For that, I think you'd have to build USD again, which can be time consuming, so I understand if you prefer not to.

On my side I've tested successfully PySide2 and PySide6 on Windows, as well as PySide2 on CentOS-7 :/
