I already tried it. The ASSERT message is gone then, but the editor stays empty.

Thanks for your answer. It supports my assumption that QTextDocument should not
be set.

Unfotunately I can't derive from BaseTextDocument, because the other class
(the one derived from QTextDocument) is already used a lot within other code.
I would have to rewrite everything.

What I could do is to synchronize the both documents when one is changed,
i.e. listen to the contentsChanged SIGNAL of the one document and then make
something like doc->setPlainText(mDocToSyncWith->plainText()).
