Qt Creator debug view corrupted — how to rectify?
-
Every time I start debugging my project, the debugger view appears correctly for a moment and then gets corrupted as shown here. As you can see below the debug controls are obscured.
The vertical resize cursor does not appear so I cannot resize it. I can select the type of debugger by selecting the word "Debugger". If I select any of the other types, e.g. Memcheck, it's fine but as soon as I select Debugger again, it returns to this corrupted view.
How can I rectify this? Restarting Qt Creator and closing/opening the project have not helped.
I am using Qt Creator 8.0.1 on Mac (macOS Monterey 12.1)

For anyone stopping by, I reported this as a bug (QtCreator Bug 28371) and was given a workaround.
First try View > Views > Reset to default layout.
In my case View > Views was not working, so the next option, which did work, was to delete Qt Creator settings. On a Mac, this is at ~/.config/QtCreator/QtCreator.ini
