      In a German keyboard environment, the character '{' (open curly brace) is generated by pressing and holding the AltGr-key, then pressing '7'.
      If you do this in QtCreator 4.1.0, the GUI activates the "File" menu after the curly brace appears, i.e. the key stroke is misinterpreted as if the Alt-key had been pressed. This makes programming in C(++) quite awkward, because the curly braces are ubiquitous in this language.
      Until QtCreator 3.6.*, this worked properly.
