BTW, qDebug prints to stderr and additionally uses the OutputDebugString 
API. That's also the reason why you see qDebug output twice (in 
beautiful different colors though) on Windows if "Run in Console" is 
unchecked.

It might make sense to make sure that only the last instance of Qt 
Creator that starts a debugging session gets all the OutputDebugString 
output.
