The description may not be clear to you, but you would know if you are experiencing the same issue. I am on Windows 10 64bit, using a copy of Qt Creator 17.0.0 that is built on Jun 17 2025 16:32:24 based on Qt 6.9.1 (MSVC 2022, x86_64), and it is from revision 4983f08c47 | |||

Qt 5.6 is a supported LTS release. I think it deserves to be on the main page, especially if 4.8 is there.
- Qt 5.9 is the current LTS release replacing Qt 5.6.
- Qt 5.9 doesn't replace Qt 5.6. It is still supported. 5.6.3, and if the 3 year support promise is kept, also 5.6.4 and hopefully 5.6.5 will be released. So it needs to be in that table if Qt 4.8.7 is there and as long as there are releases to be made for 5.6. Just keeping 4.8 and 5.9 makes it like there is no other choice for users. This is a disservice to your users. Actually you shouldn't recommend 5.9 so eagerly, at least not until 5.9.2 is released, i.e. not until many regressions and P1 issues are resolved. Until that time, 5.6 remains a good recommendation for conservative users.
- As the table says, it is current releases, for Qt4 that is 4.8.7, Qt5 is 5.9. Both 5.8 and 5.6 (5.7 support time ended 15.6.2017) are right now still both supported, but not listed on the frontpage, they are in the all releases table.
- Qt 5.9 doesn't replace Qt 5.6. It is still supported. 5.6.3, and if the 3 year support promise is kept, also 5.6.4 and hopefully 5.6.5 will be released. So it needs to be in that table if Qt 4.8.7 is there and as long as there are releases to be made for 5.6. Just keeping 4.8 and 5.9 makes it like there is no other choice for users.

Q: Entry "Overview" on the Main page does not link to an existing page. Category General (to which this entry is linked) does not exist. Should this entry be deleted?
EOL version in tutorial
Is it OK to edit tutorials to eliminate references and instruction about EOL versions like 12.10 Ubuntu specific instructions (EOL since 2014) or Qt 4 specific instructions (EOL since 2015).
For example see
- https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Beginners "This tutorial series target mainly Qt4. Even if most of these tutorials are also valid for Qt5, the case of Qt5 is discussed in a separate part. "
- https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu "This is a tutorial for installation of Qt 5.7.0 to Ubuntu 12.10." Ubuntu 12.10 is EOL since 2014

Still under active development?
Is this wiki (especialy the german part) under active development? It doesn't seems so...

QT Installer Framework
I was building source file qt-installer-framework but I have some issue when building. Help me step by step to build source qt-installer-framework on Windows.
scrollbar issues in Qt Creator
(I am a new user to the forum and I am not sure if this should be here, but the bug is really annoying)
This bug concerns the Qt Creator IDE (17.0.0) and does not affect software using the Qt Framework.
When I edit my code in Qt Creator, I sometimes (most of the time) cannot reach the end by scrolling, the scrollbar appears to be at the end but there is still code in the file that has not been displayed. Then I have to press the down arrow on my keyboard to manually scroll downwards. If this is not frustrating enough, after using the down arrow to scroll downwards, scrolling upwards cause the scroll view to jump to random sections of the code, sometimes far beyond the end of the file.
This bug has made coding in Qt Creator very annoying (but still better than VS Code, at least Qt Creator does not crash). I would really appreciate if this bug could be fixed maybe in the next version. The previous version did not have this bug.
The description may not be clear to you, but you would know if you are experiencing the same issue. I am on Windows 10 64bit, using a copy of Qt Creator 17.0.0 that is built on Jun 17 2025 16:32:24 based on Qt 6.9.1 (MSVC 2022, x86_64), and it is from revision 4983f08c47
