Talk:Reporting Bugs

I just tried to report this bug, also discussed here and here and here and here but after creating two Qt accounts (for Qt Group and Atlassian), it failed with "Vous n'êtes pas autorisé à réaliser cette opération. Veuillez vous connecter." (operation not allowed. Please login again)

This is sad because it would be useful to fix this bug which has been known for at least three years, is completely blocking for the affected users, and especially uneasy to diagnose (took me a day to figure out).

In short: a text encoding issue causes .config/QtProject.conf to grow arbitrarily large under some cirumstances such as having accents in filenames (for example ~/Téléchargements in a french Ubuntu system. This makes the QT file chooser increasingly slow, and ultimately unusable.

"Operation is not allowed" is a common error if you are using an e-mail domain that Atlassian considers not valid (like from a disposable e-mail provider). Might that be the problem? Otherwise please consider reaching out to jira-admin (at) qt-project.org.

On the actual issue you wanted to report, this might be related to https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-133804 ?
