With Qt Creator 8 "Assign to Local Variable" function creates variable with "auto" type specifier

It hurts me much that the current Qt Creator 8 uses "auto" variable type when using "Assign to Local Variable" function. Before, it was using the actual type that the variable had.

The previous behavior had a great value added in comparison with the current behavior:

1. Immediately after using the "Assign to Local Variable", I knew that I was getting what I wanted.
2. If I was using some new Qt function, I saw what I got from it.
3. When the variable is labelled with the actual type, I can click on it and press F1 to get help for it quickly.

Personally, I don't use "auto" type in my code because I think that labelling the variables with proper type makes the code maintenance much easier.

Is the previous behavior gone, or is there some option to get it back?
