Merge bitcoin-core/gui#680: Fixes MacOS 13 segfault by preventing certain notifications after main window is destroyed
8a5014cd8a05b3ab86ae34a47653a82ce11bdf17 Fixes bitcoin#26490 by preventing notifications (John Moffett)

Pull request description:

  This is a PR to address https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/26490

  The menu bar currently subscribes to window focus change notifications to enable or disable certain menu options in response to the window status.

  Notifications are automatically unsubscribed (disconnected in Qt parlance) if the sender is deleted -- in this case, the sender is the QTApplication object (`qApp`). However, MacOS 13 sends a window focus change notification *after* the main window has been destroyed but *before* `qApp` has been fully destroyed.

  Since the menu bar is deleted in the main window's destructor, it no longer exists when it receives these notifications (in two different places via lambda expressions). The solution is to pass the main window (`this`) as context when subscribing to the notifications. In this [overloaded version](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#connect-1) of `connect`, Qt automatically unsubscribes to notifications if the sender OR context (here the main window object) is destroyed. Since the spurious notifications are sent after the main window object is destroyed, this change prevents them from being sent.

  Tested on Mac OS 13 and 12 only.

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
