Current FET is based on Qt 4.7.3 (Windows dll-s in the exe version of FET). Should I update to Qt 4.7.4? Qt 4.7.4 has this minor bug:

https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20925

In short:
---
After double clicking on a word in the editor, only that word is selected. Moving the mouse cursor does not select further words.

The usual behavior would be to select more words while moving the mouse.
---

For now, I don't estimate a soon release of a new version of FET, so I might wait until next version of Qt, but maybe I might need to release a new FET sooner, so I ask just in case.

This bug does not bother me. If there are any benefits to upgrading, I'd say go for it.

Benefits to upgrade are probably none to FET, but anyway it is best to use the latest version.

This Qt bug seems not observable to me, I never used that feature. But guys reporting it say that it is a serious bug and Qt 4.7.4 is unusable because of this bug (?!)

I just hope I will be able to wait with a new FET release until Qt 4.7.5 or Qt 4.8.0.
