Output in application output dock even though Run in Terminal is selected

[Charlie_Hdz]

Hi,

This is a characteristic a little annoying when I'm developing Console application in Qt Creator 4.2.1.

First attempt to get the output in Terminal, it is showed in Application Output, I need to close Qt Creator and open it again to make it run in Terminal.

Is it a bug or what?

Hi @Charlie_Hdz,

sounds like QTCREATORBUG-17608 and it seems this one is only partly fixed in 4.2.1.

So upgrading to 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 should help :)

From @aha_1980's bug description, sounds like you should be able to uncheck & recheck "Output to Terminal" instead of having to actually exit & restart Creator, which might be preferable.

That's right! The video shows how to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm5Vlofr57s&feature=youtu.be
