I just tested Creator 1.1.0 on Windows XP and got similar problems.

This seems also be the base of problems in my case.

I took an older short project (just opening 2 windows), made a complete 
rebuild and tried to debug... I got the new compiled files in my release dir 
(both for debug and for release configuration).

I got a correct configuration after I deleted the pro.user file AND rejected 
importing an old configuration the next time.

I also noticed that 
- on windows xp (mingw)  the compiled files are stored in subdirectories named 
release or debug (depending on configuration name or the qmake debug/release 
option?)
- on linux (openSuse 11.0/10.3) the compiled files are stored in the project 
directory. I had to activate the shadow build option and to adjust the path 
to release and debug dirs - and these paths are copied to the default run 
configuration path. Why is it different to the windows configuration 
behaviour? Or maybe it's also an conversion issue from Creator 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 
and will change if I delete the pro.user file?
