[Qt-creator] Annoying 'changed text' lines on left of edit screen?

[Kendall Bennett]

Here is something I am finding very annoying. Qt Creator seems to want to keep track of everything that I have edited in a session, and shows green lines next to the areas of the code that I have changed, on the left of the editor screen. If I have not saved the file, the lines are red, and when the file is saved, they are green.

However for the life of me I cannot understand why these lines always remain? The only way I have found to clear the green lines is to exit Qt Creator and then restart it again?

At first I thought perhaps it was tracking what had changed since my last commit with Perforce, but it seems to be totally unrelated to that as submitting the files with Perforce (which I do either with P4V or the command line; not using Qt Creator) does not clear the lines either.

What am I missing here? Is there some way to to turn this off? I am more than happy to see the red lines for stuff that is not saved to disk, but the green lines for me are pretty superfluous as I always run a diff on my files when I check them in with Perforce anyway to make sure I am not submitting something silly.
