Qt Creator and other tools

See https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.8_Release (google: "qt6.8.3 release notes")

@CreeperInBlack Magical resolution is more usual under Windows. And no matter what OS, when anything misbehaves a good, stern reboot is always worth a try. ;-)

@samwise_genji said in Qt Creator Terminal output: Thank you for the heads up, @cristian-adam do you know when it will be officially released ? I can make do with temporary workarounds till then At https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Creator_Releases we can see: Qt Creator 17.0.1: wk34 (~Aug 21 2025), depends on Qt 6.9.2

Hmmm very odd! I closed and re-opened VS and now it works as expected - though black selection on a black background is VERY hard to see.

Thanks for your answers and actions!

@Christian-Ehrlicher said in Qt Creator: cmake errors after downgrade of MSVC compiler: 17.9 should also work. Make sure to start with a clean build dir and also no CMakeLists.txt.user in the source tree I did everything, but forgot about .txt.user Will try that... EDIT: However, after the torturous downgrade/upgrade experience, my VS debugger decided to behave, so I'll keep you advice for the future.

I've opened up QTCREATORBUG-33213: Model Context Protocol (MCP) support.

@Iann29 Hi, I know this is a little late and I was running into the same issue but this is what fixed to for me. I went into the kit menu and I a kit for Desktp Qt 6.9.1 MinGW 64-bit (default) that had always come up as an unsupported/unavailable kit. However, all I had to do was clone it in the kit menu, see here. [image: 468b3f2d-cea4-4c50-bf91-0600151c6c1b.png] Then when I created a new project with Qt Quick Application for Python with PySide6, it let me select not only the python kit but also my desktop one that allows the designer to work.

@gg123 See https://github.com/PeterFeicht/cppreference-doc and the https://github.com/PeterFeicht/cppreference-doc/releases page. The v20250209 release looks like this in Qt Creator 17: [image: 43a19d4f-b4c0-492d-850c-edda915d56e4.png]

@Shap QPlainTextEdit will (should) behave the same as QTextEdit so far as sizing is concerned. They are both for multiline input, and can grow vertically. QLineEdit is for single-line input, and would not grow vertically. Same as the other widgets you talked about.

I finally managed to get proper help back again, so I'm sharing the solution juuuust in case some other lost soul comes here in search of an answer. Clone the QtCreator source code. Checkout version v7.0.2 (this is the last version that supports Qt5). Build it against Qt5. Select "QtWebEngine" as the help renderer. Not only did rolling back to v7.0.2 + Qt5 give me proper help, but it also fixed a whole plethora of other annoying bugs. And even if there was any actual functionality added since that version, I didn't notice it, so I didn't even lose anything. [image: 681d75c2-ecb0-4a7a-8680-f0fa0267bf36.png]

@AlGig Newer versions of Qt may not support the old Android versions and hardware. The Android version in my phone is 14. It may not make a lot of sense to work with Android 6.

@kkoehne Thank you! I had forgotten I had posted this!

I thought linuxdeployqt does not support Qt6.x.x? Is there an alternative AppImage method that works for Qt6?

@cuijg Could be a bug. You should report it on Qt Bug Tracker: https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/Dashboard.jspa

@weiluI also ran into this problem. I couldn't find a solution to this problem. If you find one, could you explain it? I can add files manually through CMakeLists.txt, but I'd prefer to add them without it

Nice! Thanks
