I think the root of the problem is WSortFilterProxyModel::mapFromSource(...) method returning an invalid WModelIndex for both:

1) valid source indexes that are not meant to be displayed on the view (e.g. filtered out by the proxy via filterAcceptRow() method)

and

2) invalid source indexes.

So, as the method currently stands, when an invalid WModelIndex is returned, there is no way to detect which of the two cases we are dealing with.

Now, let's consider this snippet of code (used in several places inside WSortFilterProxyModel class):

WModelIndex parent = mapFromSource(validIndex.parent());
Item *item = itemFromIndex(parent);

Let's assume validIndex is a valid source index with a valid parent, but not meant to be displayed in the proxy model (e.g. an index belonging to case 1 mentioned above). What item will we get from the call to itemFromIndex(...) ? The invisible root item. Why? Because:

a) mapFromSource(...) returns an invalid WModelIndex for case 1 (parent in example above)

and

b) there is always an item which parent index is invalid; that item is the invisible root item.

I can think of two possible ways to fix this:

I) change mapFromSource() method signature to return whether we are dealing with case 1 or 2

II) add code to detect whether we are dealing with case 1 or 2 outside mapFromSource()

Please find attached a patch with solution II applied.

Mind: this patch will fix sourceDataChanged() method only, but the problem could potentially affect other methods, namely:

_WSortFilterProxyModel::sourceRowsAboutToBeInserted()

WSortFilterProxyModel::sourceRowsInserted()

WSortFilterProxyModel::sourceRowsAboutToBeRemoved()

WSortFilterProxyModel::sourceRowsRemoved()_
