Does not seem to be an easy fix.

I think it boils down to this upstream bug report:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-22605

Removing `Qt::WA_StaticContents` should resolve the crash, but as far as I can see, this flag is set internally by QScintilla we don't actually use it a lot in QGIS.

The upstream report mentions that "the crash is no longer reproducible" without more details, so we can only assume that it has been resolve in Qt in some release of the 5-series...

Apparently not... QGIS with Qt 5.6 crashes as well.
