This seems to work here. I’m doing a -developer-build though, no idea if that 
is relevant. Also make sure that you have the same number of path components to 
both your source and to your build. E.g. “/home/me/git/qt/src/qtbase” and 
“/home/me/git/qt/build/qtbase”.

For me the path in the “Import” input field changes too for some reason, but 
the path it puts into the Kit configuration is correct for me.

There shouldn’t be any adverse effects just by pressing the configure button. 
If you don’t like the result, simply remove the qtbase.pro.user and start again.
