[Qt-creator] Shadown Builds and Completion in UI Classes

[Chris W]

Hello All,

Qt 1.1.0, and 21 June snapshot, Qt 4.5.1 on Linux.

If I use the Qt Creator shadow build feature, or a .pro that does a similar
thing explicitly, then code completion in UI classes fails.  It seems the
completer does not look in the shadow directory for ui_*.h files or does not
parse then well.  Rather than being shown the widget members of the UI I am
shown only the class name from the Ui name space.  For example, in the generic
generated code below completion fails after typing "m_ui->" showing only
"AlarmView" rather than a list containing the two widgets in the designer and
the ui_alarmview.h files.

If I disable shadow building the completion works perfectly well.

Any thoughts?
