Ok, I misunderstood you. It is a Qt Designer issue though, and if I understand your issue correctly it looks like fixed in Qt 4.8 (https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-7777). It will be available in Qt Creator when you compile it with Qt 4.8. Our Qt Creator binary packages are still based on 4.7.4 until Qt 4.8 is released. After that, it will also be available in "stock" Qt Creator.
