Hi related with issue: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16803 I strongly agree with Nyall, Pedro VenĂ¢ncio and Giovanni Manghi to remove this feature. The rational is:
1) fix seems hard to find (QgsRasterLayer::previewAsImage is triggered 4/6 times and at aqvery refresh => not useful)... hard bu not impossible. 2) hard to find utility in a so little preview 3) who want to spend dev time on fixing it is welcome :) 4) Avioid crash is better than a having a not so important feature. I'll prepare a PR to remove only the option into "Settings -> Options... -> Canvas & Legend -> "Create raster icons (may be slow)" default is Off. any opinion?
