Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any application in QtCreator e.g. Qt Widgets -Application Example
2. Build and run the application
3. Notice that the application is run in the build folder (Use the open dialog to verify this)
4. Close the application and start it with the "Performance Analyzer"
5. Use the open dialog again. The application is now run in the home folder instead of the build directory.

Testing applications which need data from the build folder is not possible this way.
