HOW TO REPORT A BUG+ −
+ −
If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about+ −
it so that we can fix it. The Qt bug tracking system is open to the+ −
public at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/.+ −
+ −
Before reporting a bug, please use the bug-tracker's search functions+ −
and consult http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ to see if the issue is+ −
already known.+ −
+ −
Always include the following information in your bug report: the name+ −
and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of+ −
your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what+ −
configure options it was compiled with.+ −
+ −
If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to+ −
create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,+ −
such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the many+ −
example programs in Qt's examples directory, or to the autotests that+ −
are available in the public source repository on http://qt.gitorious.org/.+ −
