[Interest] QLIneEdit Bug still valid ?

[Petric Frank]

Hello,

developing an application using Qt 4.8.2 (Linux) i stumbled over a bug with 
QLineEdit.

I used the signal textEdited(const QString &). According to the documentation 
this signal should not be emitted when i change the item using setText(const 
QString &). Despite the spec it is emitted at caling setText.

I found a bug item dated from 2010 which referring this issue:
  https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-15672

which is still maked as open and no progress have been made.

It seems this bugreport was lost somewhere.

Any hints where/how to patch the original Qt Source to fix this is welcome.

regards
  Petric
