[Development] Missing documentation in Qt 5.12

[André Hartmann]

Hi Martin,

the all-members list is very useful to get an overview about a class. 
You're searching for a function to perform a specific task, that you 
assume to be in a class. Searching through all inherited classes is a 
tedious task.

If there are no technical limitations, I'm for keeping the all-members list.

If the problem is confined to the all-members list, it's not a p1 problem because the information is still there via the inherits links, which are more useful for seeing what is inherited anyway. My own opinion is that the all-members list should be removed.

From what I can tell nothing that is inherited, beside the things explicitly overriden, appear in the list. Although I wouldn't presume to place fault, for me the bad impression was left not by the bug itself, which is pretty embarrassing, as so much as bouncing it around on the tracker for 10 days until ultimately a ping on the list prompted action ... I mean, we get it, there's not enough people and hours to handle all the bugs, but I *hope* it is not going to be necessary to bring P1s to the list so at least they get attention ...
