The source zip/tar.gz doesn't have the qbs submodule sources. Known issue, source zip/tar.gz will be fixed.

If you use the same Qt version for compiling Qt Creator, then that is not surprising. If you use a later Qt version, then it means that your bug is not fixed in Qt yet. Did you create a bug report?

Yes. It is actually an improvement for everyone who *does* use C++ or Qt Quick :)

You can remove them from share/qtcreator/externaltools (or src/share/qtcreator/externaltools in the sources)
