[Qt-creator] Mouse Clicks Misbehaviour in latest QtCreator

Fellows:

I upgraded my Qt and QtCreator installation on Mac (Snow Leopard) just a
couple of days ago. I compiled and installed Qt-4.6 (4.6.1-Stable branch
from the git repository), and then compiled QtCreator 1.3, also the
latest from its corresponding git repo. I had to do this because some
new features introduced in the 4.6 branch that the latest QtCreator uses.

I compiled everything in 64 bit passing the -cocoa flag to the configure
script. I had some glitches when compiling Qt, apparently due to some
include path order in the webkit module that conflicted with the mysql
"plugin.h" file. In fact, Thiago Maceiera posted something about mysql
using an include file like "config.h" at
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6351.

It looks like Qt would include the mysql file due to some search path
order issue. I went around it after doing some reading by renaming the
"plugin.h" inside the mysql include folder to something else before
continuing the compilation, and then building the mysql plugin by hand
after moving the renamed file back to "plugin.h". After that both Qt and
QtCreator installed just fine.

All that I have an idea how it should work appears to continue to work
as usual, except for the mouse clicks inside QtCreator's editor "Select
a symbol" pull down menu: I cannot select anything, as though the editor
remains oblivious to the click. The pull down does display the list of
available functions et al., but I cannot select anything to navigate to
 unless I press the arrow keys and then select something by pressing
return. This turns a little bit annoying.

Furthermore, if you right-click to display the "Sort alphabetically"
menu you cannot toggle it via a mouse click either. If you right-click
inside the "Sort alphabetically" menu again then another pop up menu
displaying "Sort alphabetically" shows up, which you cannot toggle via
the mouse either.

Inside QtDesigner, for instance, a right click brings up a menu, and
after clicking at least once you can select items the usual way, but not
on QtCreator.

This appears to indicate some problem with the handling of the mouse
actions.

Has this something to do with new features introduced in /Qt or QtCreator?

Has anyone seen something like this, or knows a way to fix it, as yet?

Regards,
Victor
