Comment (by mojca@…):
One thing I don't like about gnuplot is that they really like to close bug
reports as "Sorry, it works for me on X and I'm not interested in checking
Y".
But I admit that I'm not sure how to reproduce the crash either. And I
don't understand whether the bug report on the gnuplot tracker is trying
to report a problem with wxt or a problem with qt. One thing that you need
to be aware of is that you cannot switch between wxt and qt. This means
that if "wxt" is the default terminal when you run gnuplot, you might
expect troubles when switching to qt. If gnuplot starts with "aqua",
switching to either qt or wxt should work without problems, at least in
theory.
But again, please open a new ticket and discuss the problem there. And
please make it clear what is your default terminal and what is giving you
problems. It is possible that the crash only happens on the latests OSes.
I'm not experiencing a crash on 10.7, or at least I don't know how to
reproduce it.
Dependency: in case of 10.10 depending on Qt by default means waiting for
a few hours for Qt build to finish just to be able to install, say,
octave.
