    Description

      1. Have a simple MessageBox:
        QMessageBox msgBox;
        msgBox.setText("Hey yo!");
        msgBox.exec();
        
      2. Build and execute this:

        No surprises here.
      3. So far the MessageBox has only one button. Let's add another one:
        QMessageBox msgBox;
        msgBox.setText("Hey yo!");
        msgBox.addButton("Reject", QMessageBox::RejectRole);
        msgBox.exec();
        
      4. Build and execute this:

        Huh? Still only one button?
      5. Let's show the MessageBox before adding the button...
        QMessageBox msgBox;
        msgBox.setText("Hey yo!");
        msgBox.show();
        msgBox.addButton("Reject", QMessageBox::RejectRole);
        msgBox.exec();
        
      6. Build and execute this:

        So now there are both buttons??

      When I see a function named addButton, I expect it to add a button and nothing else. Above all, I don't expect that this removes a button.

      If there's a good reason for this behavior, then it should be documented clearly. Right now, this is not documented at all.

      I don't think that the behavior of addButton should depend on whether show was called or not.
