Hello N3xtery,
Thanks for popping by on the forum. As the software was mainly developed on Gtk2 (and Windows and MacOS), your feedback on Qt5 is precious. It would be wonderful to know more about the context, so here are some question to narrow it down.
If I understand correctly, the program crashes without specific error message, neither in a window nor in the console. Is that correct?
When you say resizing canvas, I suppose you are referring to the use of the Canvas size item in the Image menu?
Maybe a debug version of LazPaint could help us get a more explicit error. For now only the Gtk2 debug version is provided. But before we get to that, is the software installed from a package repository, and in this case, what is the full version of the package?
