GEDI crash with WinCC OA 3.16 P0023

[lwallet]

Hello,

I am facing a GEDI crash using WinCC OA 3.16 P0023 when it loads the preview of a panel.
I can reproduce doing the following :

1) create an empty project
1) From that project, create a panel with an embedded module inside (module.pnl)
2) create a panel with a TAB inside (tab.pnl), and call the module.pnl from the TAB object
3) close the panels
4) open panel in GEDI, and select the tab_panel
5) then it crashes

Here is the windows application error than I get for this crash :

Faulting application name: WCCOAui.exe, version: 3.16.0.0, time stamp: 0x5fa31abd
Faulting module name: Qt5Core.dll, version: 5.9.2.0, time stamp: 0x5ea6f0a5

Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have joined the empty project.
This occurs on Patch 20 & 23. It does not on Patch 16

There is a workaround :
open the panel tree view, and click fast on the tab.pnl (fast enough for GEDI to not load the thumnails). Here the panel is opened, and GEDI do not crash

I have tested it and I can reproduce the problem.
The issue was forwarded to our development department.

Ok, thanks for your investigation. This is noted for next time!
I wasn't sure it was an issue due to our configuration or wincc oa issue
Thank you
