[Bug 1766699] [NEW] QtCreator 3.5.1 has several bugs and should be updated to a newer version

[Blair Houghton]

Public bug reported:

I was seeing numerous diags for bugs when running QtCreator, and
reported one of them to qt.io.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-20323

TL;DR: Their take is that the version 3.5.1 that is loaded by Ubuntu is
way too old to be maintained (it's from like 2012).

Consequently, the onus is on Ubuntu to adopt a newer version (they've
released 4.6.0 and are testing up to 4.9.0) for installation with `apt
install qtcreator`.
