Can't change running Qt Quick UI from QML editor

1. Open the Qt Quick UI examples\declarative\tutorials\samegame\samegame1\samegame1.qmlproject from Qt 4.8 sources.
2. Open samegame.qml from the project.
3. Set a breakpoint to line 72:

               onClicked: console.log("This doesn't do anything yet...")
   

4. Run the project in debugger.
5. Hit the breakpoint by clicking the "New Game" button.
   Execution of the project stops.
6. Change the button's text from "New Game" to something else using the QML Inspector.
   Changes will appear in the running project.
7. Now change the same text in the QML editor and save the file.
   Another file will be opened in the editor, the running project will not take over the settings.

Instead, the editor should still show the same location and the changes should be made in the running project.
