I am developing a Qt app in Fedora 31 using the default GNOME wayland session 
and I am very sorry to see the state of Qt in this configuration.

1) qt creator crashes often 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773356) the crash report tool 
does not seem to help
2) drag & drop does not work in Qt creator (and in no other Qt app) 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774762 and 
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80303)
3) main window geometry cannot be restored when the application restarts 
(https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80612)

I think GNOME / Wayland / Qt it is just not ready and should not be offered as 
the default desktop session for Fedora.

If I force Qt to use X11 emulations, things are much better.

Probably Qt is responsible (but in the bug reports someone says that KDE / 
Wayland works well), and GNOME is not Qt, but there are so many Qt apps, that 
sending new users to a non working environment re-enforces the fact that "just 
works" is not true in Linux.

Regards
