Brief Summary

2 databases. Both use yubikey.

One is used for secret-service and ssh-agent, and is unlocked.

Second is locked.

When I try to unlock the second database, sometimes keepassxc crashes.

Steps to Reproduce

As mentioned. I don't have steps to reproduce it deterministically.

But it does happen, and has been happening for a long time. As a data point, I had asked https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/discussions/12434 earlier due to this same issue, but couldn't get to use a debug build due to unrelated reasons.

Expected Versus Actual Behavior

No crash v/s crash
