    Description

      If I define two QML components, lets call them CompoA and CompoB, and I have custom properties of type CompoB in CompoA, and CompoA in CompoB, the QML engine gets stuck in an infinite loop (with older Qt versions, it used to crash).

      If I change type of one or other of the properties to any super-class, no more loop, but I don't have the precise type info that I need, and I'm forced to do ducktyping everywhere, which is bad...

      I attached a sample code. There is a line in CompoB that can be commented and another one that can be uncommented to workaround the issue.
