Ah good, Looks that particular issue is fixed for me, though I still get crashes in other areas. >> If so, is there some way to know at any point in time which git repo is >> most up to date and stable?

Thanks for the info, since the fix is in master I'll report any new crashes I get (was holding off in case it was the same bug). If master ever becomes really buggy for me, I tend to fallback to last stable release from my distro (rather then switching repo's). Ill keep building with debug symbols until qtcreator runs without crashing for a week or so. > Andre' -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
