    System info:
    OS: Linux - KDE Neon (Ubuntu based)
    Shell: Fish
    Qt Creator: 17.0.0
    

    I created a non qt C++ terminal app

    I went to settings and changed the terminal to make it the external one, the internal terminal will not open when running the project

    Screenshot_20250802_105958.png

    When i run the project, the external terminal (terminator) will open so fast and close, it won't stay open till i press enter to close the terminal after seeing the output

    i have to put some extra code to make the terminal stay open so i can see the output

    I think when i was using bash, this problem did not exist

      Hi @Pete-Carter that is a known bug and will be fixed in QtCreator 17.0.1 in approx. three weeks.

      Regards

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.
