Trying to get a backtrace with gdb is not very useful, since there's no debug symbols. The online installer does not have a download for the debug symbols, like it does for Creator 4.15.2 (which does not segfault.)

Indeed looks like debug info for the pre-release is missing from the online installer. Looks like that was simply forgotten. Created https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-26130

The debug information is available at https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qtcreator/5.0/5.0.0-rc1/installer_source/linux_x64/ (qtcreator-debug.7z).
If you unzip that into your Qt Creator installation, you should get better stack traces.
Maybe it is better if you create a copy of <Qt>/Tools/Preview/Qt Creator 5.0.0-rc1 for that purpose, so you don't end up with funny files in your online installation that the online installer knows nothing about (and does not clean up when updates come in).

Br, Eike
