Hi all, this message is especially for Frederik. As I promised, this is the message I sent to Heikkinen Jani (the Qt release manager) some time ago with a detailed report of Qt Creator accessibility issues and the report of a critical accessibility issue that affects the Qt installer.
Cheers Vincenzo.

Both machines are running Mac OS X 10.9.2. I’ve used QT Creator > 3.0.1 and QT 5.2.1.
