Another bug after update?

Ok :)
I tried with 5.15.0 on Window but it still does the right/normal way.
Trying to update to 5.15.1 and see.
But i have a feeling it might be a macOS thing.

SPlatten

@mrjj , very strange, it was perfectly ok before the last update, which at the same time there was an Xcode update, could it be that?

Xcode
Version 12.2 (12B45b)

@SPlatten
Hi
Yes in theory it could be that

but did you use 12.1 before ?

SPlatten

Yes and it was all ok...there were a lot of updates at the same time, also Apple rolled out macOS Big Sur, which is buggy too...very unlike Apple this kind of thing didn't happened when Mr Jobs was around.

mrjj

Hi
Oh wait. So you also upgraded the Os ?

SPlatten

@mrjj , yes, like I said there were several updates at the same time, to recap:

macOS Big Sur, Version 11.0.1

Qt Creator 4.13.2
Using Q 5.15.1 on my project

Xcode Version 12.2

mrjj

@SPlatten
That could be the real reason as - as far as I know, Qt is not completely ready to run on that new version.

@mrjj , thank you, valuable lesson learnt the hard way, don't upgrade!

mrjj

@SPlatten
It's the main reason I use mostly virtual machines for development.
You can keep all of it set up correctly and there won't by any drive-by updating.
Windows 10 is the master of disaster updates.

SPlatten

@mrjj Thats sound advice, I have Oracle VirtualBox, perhaps I should start using it.

mrjj

@SPlatten
That would work but for the perfect experience on macOS, i would look into

Im not a macOs user but I understand that from others that its way better than virtualbox. (on MacOs)
I do use virtual box on Window and likes it.

SPlatten

@mrjj VirtualBox is free :)

mrjj

@SPlatten
Yes - So that is a huge plus for it :)
