    Description

      Looks like the issue that starting QtCreator switches the discrete graphics card on for MacBooks with integrated and discrete graphics card is back. This is a drain on battery.

      It was fine for a while up until 4.8.2, but 4.9.0 and 4.9.1 are affected.

      Previous issues of the same problem back with version 3.0 include: QTCREATORBUG-11799 and QTCREATORBUG-11296
