[Qt-creator] Mouse Clicks Misbehaviour in latest QtCreator

[Victor Sardina]

Eike:

Thank you for your answer. I started to wonder if I had just made it all
up in my mind or something...

I had QtCreator compiled against Qt-4.6.0 before, but then decided to go
with Qt-4.6.1 due to some features needed to successfully compile the
latest QtCreator (the problem with opting for the cutting edge).

I didn't notice any problems with the Qt-4.6.0 branch, but again, I
didn't installed the cocoa version of it, and didn't even scratch the
surface of all the new features either.

I opted for the cocoa version this time to keep 64bit compatibility with
the packages installed via macports, such as mysql, for instance.
Otherwise everything turns too messy, and I start thinking about coding
only on Linux again. Right now I code primarily under Mac, and transfer
the code to Linux/Solaris via a git repo. Qt makes your life easier
indeed...I even like the test modules it ships with.

I recompile the QtCreator just yesterday, but the clicking misbehaviour
still remains. This doesn't turn extremely detrimental, particularly
when we consider the benefits of using QtCreator, just a little annoying
until you start getting used to the arrow keys for selecting items from
the "Select symbol" combo box.

Thank you again,

Victor

PS: If you or anyone else needs/uses the marble widget/libraries, you
would need to add the 64 bit platform option by hand to the
CMakeLists.txt file. Otherwise it always compiles in 32 bit mode. More
specifically, I replaced (commented out) the line
#SET( CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES i386 ) #Comment out if universal binary
with
SET( CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES x86_64 ) #Comment out if universal binary

I had a "nice learning experience" with that after compiling the cocoa
version of Qt as well...It seems that cmake has some unpolished corners
in that regard.
