Bug Description

Launching the app pops up an error dialog showing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/frescobaldi/frescobaldi_app/widgets/charmap.py", line 141, in paintEvent
    text_pen = QPen(self.palette().text())
TypeError: QPen(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'QBrush'

closing the dialog just brings it back again, thus the app can't be used at all.

Thank you Timo for fixing this bug in Ubuntu.

I had not encountered this bug at all until I decided dug deeper today.
It is only triggered when the character map (charmap) widget is enabled.

To reproduce, go to "Tools → Special Characters" from the top menu,
or press Meta-Alt-T, which corresponds to Win-Alt-T on my notebook,
and an "Internal Error" dialog box will pop up, just as Timo had described.

I will backport this fix to Debian soon. Thanks again!

Cheers,
Anthony
