And I mean really small, like a few pixels in height... this would indicate that the changes you did in Qt Creator - adding the menu items - are not reflected in either the *.ui file (you did not save) or the generated files (they are not re-generated or compiled/linked).

Nothing is displayed. Absolutely nothing. Even a pixel.
The changes are applied, I think, as I've added the QMenu and the
QActions on it at the same time and then I've build the code - The
menu text is there but didn't worked. So I assume that files are
generated correctly and I'm using the right build.

Yes, the release folder is empty and I'm working only on debug one...

They are.

> qmake then takes care of the necessary steps (uic'ing, moc'ing). Do a 'make clean' (or in Qt Creator: right-click on the project(s) and "Clean") and see if that makes a difference...
I've done it. Even I've cleaned all remaining files after 'clean' step
manually and I've rebuild it.

BTW, I've noticed that for the first time in Qt4.5 (don't remember
QtCreator version) few months ago, but I worked around doing the menu
stuff in the code, rather on the designer. Now I'm using Qt4.7b1 and
QtCreator 1.3.83.

I've tried building it on few machines (XP and Vista) - it's the same.
