I haven't seen this, and there is no Creator code that could cause
this directly. The contents of the line edit is passed directly to
QProcess::start().

As a workaround you could try to make a copy/link of the gdb executable
with the 'wrong' name.

What platfom is this btw? Any chance that this is Windows and an "alien"
shell interfering?

Tested are 6.8 on Linux, 6.7.50 on Windows, and 6.3 on MacOS 10.4 and 10.5.
I doubt that anything before 6.3 has a chance to work.
