How to connect signal by drug on Qt Creator signal slot editor mode?

bigbenbigben

I use Qt Creator 11.0.2 installed by pacman in MinGW64.
I tried to connect a signal such as a push button to a text label by entering the signal/slot edit mode and dragging the placed push button onto the main window, but the red arrow for signal connect does not appear.
Is there a way to enable GUI operation in signal/slot editing mode?

I made the test project by New Project > Application(Qt) > Qt widgets Application, and I was able to confirm that the connection was established by editing the code directly as shown below

mainwindow.h

public:
     MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
     ~MainWindow();

// add
private slots: 
    void print_hello();

 private:
     Ui::MainWindow *ui;

mainwindow.cpp

MainWindow::~MainWindow() 
     delete ui;
 }

// add  
void MainWindow::print_hello() 
{ 
    std::cout << "hello!" << std::endl; 
}

Windows 11 Pro 21H2
MSYS2 (MinGW 64)
Qt Creator 11.0.2
mingw-w64-qt6-base 6.5.2-5

@bigbenbigben hey don't know if it helps, but may have a look at this tutorial here:

C++ Qt 4 - Signals and Slots,

it's a little older video bei VoidRealms but still works. :)
Best regards

Thank you for your reply.

Probably, but the problem is solved.
For some reason in my environment, selecting buddy editting mode launches signal/slot editting mode.
