[Qt-creator] First impressions

[Lucian Smith]

I'm new to QT, and have been using the QT creator over the last couple 
days to put together a small project.  I'm quite impressed--the integrated 
documentation and the auto-complete features have made learning everything 
very nice.  I was surprised to discover this is only v1.0.0; it looked 
more polished than that.

If this is the right place to post bug reports/feature requests, I have a 
few of each.  I'm running v1.0.0 (Built on Mar 10 2009 at 23:22:28) for 
Ubuntu v9.04, in GNOME 2.26.1

-The debug information window does not have a 'close' button anywhere, nor 
can I disable it from Window/Output Panes (nor does it even show up 
there).  It's nice, but when I'm done, it takes up way too much space to 
continue working.  I've taken to closing the entire program and re-opening 
it, which is actually pretty smooth, but is obviously not ideal.

-Can autocomplete be made case-insensitive?  By this I mean that if I type 
'set' it would be nice if it could find 'setX' funtions as well as 'SetX' 
functions.  If I selected a 'SetX' function, it would obviously need to 
capitalize my 'set' bit.

-Can autocomplete be made resistent to backspace?  If I type 'setN' and 
there's no function that starts 'setN', if I type backspace, it would be 
nice to see the 'setX' functions again.  As it is, I have to backspace 
over the entire word minus one character, then re-type that last character 
to get the autocomplete window to pop up again.

-I can't figure out what I'm doing to cause the tooltip-like help windows 
to pop up (the ones with the 'F1' button on them).  Not only that, it is 
hard to get them to go away again, and they invariably cover the bit where 
I'm trying to type.  If the sensitivity could be adjusted here (maybe it 
could disappear in response to typing and not just mouse movement?) that 
would be great.


I've saved the heisenbugs for last.

-Sometimes as I'm working, something gets out of sync and things stop 
working quite right.  Restarting the program always fixes it.  'Not 
working right' includes:
	-Clicking on a file in the file list in the left panel will not 
take me to the text of that file.  Sometimes the code screen ends up with 
a mix of text from the file it was displaying before and the file I've 
told it to display now.  Changing the file in the top grey bar instead 
works fine.
	-Some commands stop working like 'Ctrl-R' to run the program.  It 
just doesn't seem to respond.

I'm afraid I can't give a ton more information than that, but I can pay 
attention in the future and see if I can give you more info.

Thanks!
