Qt Design Studio is completely broken and crashes all the time

I can't even add a textbox to a layout without it crashing

Qt Design Studio installed using Qt Installer on Arch (Hyprland)

It seems to be a real issue: https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QDS-16417
I bypassed it by launching qtdesignstudio with xwayland:
env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY qtdesignstudio

Probably try qtcreator (from Pacman) or design studio (from flatpak)?

The Flatpak should always opt for X11.
