Description:
Quassel 0.12.x has a bug in it that when you click a link in the chat, the link will open as expected in your browser but Quassel will then crash immediately afterwards. I've discussed it with some people and it turns out that the problem is due to Qt and should be fixed in the next release of Qt, Qt 5.4.2.

Additional info:
* 0.12.x
* this is an Upstream bug to Qt
* this report is made for users to discover the workaround.

Temporary Workaround:
Turn off "Show previews of webpages" option in Quassel Settings -> Chat View.
This task depends upon
