[Qt-creator] Strange difference when running with debug, as opposed to just running

[Harri Pasanen]

As it happens, I can live without QML debugging, I'm hunting issues in  
C++ anyway.  Disabling QML debugging did the trick, thanks!

I'm on Linux, plus what I'm doing is rather compute heavy, so running on 
a device is something I try to avoid at this point.

This however can change the order of events being delivered to the application, which somehow breaks the components. This has been fixed in Qt 5.0 by moving the QML debugger into it's own thread, but that of course doesn't help for the Symbian case).
