<![CDATA[Is there a way to change the pointer star (*) placement in Qt Creator?]]>I've been using Qt Creator for some time but the only thing that bothers me is the way Qt Creator places the *-symbol like this (when pasting code or automatically updating the header file etc.):
@Type *name;@

while I strongly prefer it like:
@Type* name;@

I haven't found any setting related to this under Tools => Options.
Is there any way I can change how Qt Creator handles this?

It doesn't work on my system either. Would you like to file a bug report at https://bugreports.qt-project.org/ ?

However, trying it out yields not-expected results...

I've ticked only "Type name" and "Left const/volatile" in the Pointers and References tab which makes the preview look good.

Thanks for your help.

This feature was introduced quite recently (Qt Creator 2.7.2, IIRC)
