QT Designer Problem with property editor in Eclipse (linux)

I'm having a major problem with the QT Designer when trying to edit the properties of something.

The problem is that when I go to change a text field in the property editor, every keystroke I make gets counted twice!

So if I were to type in "Hello" for the title of my application window just as an example, the result ends up "HHeelllloo" which is obviously not a good thing. This only happens in the property editor though, nowhere else.

Any thoughts? This is seriously keeping me from being able to use the designer for anything!

Thanks,

Stephan

I am using Qt 4.3.3 + Eclipse integration under Ubuntu 7.10. In my case, the problem with the properties editor in the designer is that I was unable to change the default text on QLabels. Basically, I would type a new text for the label, but as soon as I left the properties editor, the text in it reverted back to 'LabelText'.

The only way I was able to get by this issue was saving/closing the project, exiting Eclipse and restarting it. It's time consuming and not a fix, but at least it allowed me get back to changing the text in the properities editor.

Are there others out there experiencing this or a similar issue? Someone with a better solution perhaps?

RE: Property editor problem

I just tried it, and using the Qt Designer outside of Eclipse to edit the .ui files works really well. It's saving me a lot of grief. Thanks!
