      Take this simple C code:

      void
write_temp_file()
{
  char *template;
  template = g_build_filename("/tmp", "test-XXXXXX", 0);
  for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
  }
}

void
main()
{
  foo();
  bar();
  baz();
}

      Select bar() and press Ctrl+Shift+Up. This happens: 

      void
write_temp_file()
{
  char *template;
  template = g_build_filename("/tmp", "test-XXXXXX", 0);
  for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
  }
}

void
main()
{
                      bar();
  foo();
  baz();
}

      Note bar() got aligned with the < operator in the for loop. It looks like QtCreator thought that was a template declaration. Indeed `template` is a reserved word in C++, but that is not the case in C.
