I also noticed a few things:

- 'Follow symbol under cursor' for signals in a *.cpp does not jump to the 
header where the signal was declared but to the *.moc files instead

- 'Refactoring -> Rename Symbol under cursor' does not include headers anymore, 
instead you have to check them on in the search pane, which is infuriating if 
you try to refactor large chunks of a software and have to click the small 
check boxes for dozens of header files each time.

- running a test and then trying to run the same test again using "Run test 
under cursor" chrashes QtCreator

I generally have the impression that QtCreator gets many new features with each 
release, but the releases are rushed and testing is insufficient, so each new 
version contains dozens if not hundreds of new bugs. I've been using Qt and 
QtCreator for 20 years and never had that many problems with it as I do now.

Using the latest, I weirdly kept seeing preprocessor output. Huh?  Turns out 
Follow Symbol Under Cursor moved from #2 to #3 in the right-click menu.  When 
using a command 50 times a day, one clicks by position not by reading text. 
Minor changes have big impact. If I remember right, it was somewhere else a few 
updates back, and that also required adjusting.  Was it also renamed at some 
point?

Follow Symbol Under Cursor in source files used to jump to that function in the 
header.  That stopped working a few updates ago.

The pull-down menu of function names went from alphabetical to page-order a few 
updates ago.  Sometimes it's better but sometimes not.  Being able to switch 
between would be very helpful.

We have a lot of old code that has #pragma mark -, which insets a separator in 
other IDEs.  QTC says (Unnamed Group) instead.

In general, each update becomes an adventure in figuring out how to be 
productive again.
