    Description

      1. Open a C++ file in Creator.
      2. Place the cursor on something which is not part of Qt e.g. the C++-keyword "return".
      3. Press the F1 key.
        Creator will show a mostly empty page in its right sidebar reading that there is no documentation available.
        Sure it would be nice to show some documentation about C++ itself, but that's another story.
      4. Press the F1 key again.
        On Linux, a text editor opens up. It's not an editor of Qt Creator but the system's editor, e.g. gedit. It shows an empty temporary file, e.g. /tmp/QtCreator-bCVRYf/qtchelp_hMzcaY.
        On Windows, a system dialog comes up asking in which editor to open such a file
