It's this bug:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-8737

*Really really* annoying - I'm hitting it many times an hour, along with:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-8519

They're both minor bugs in isolation, but real workflow breakers as far 
as I'm concerned.
