I wanted to share this in an earlier mention of yours regarding setting up JtR for dev but I forgot. Not sure if you're a Netbeans fan or not, but it might be more valuable for you to set up JtR for development in Qt Creator itself, since you're using it for Johnny anyway. I wrote a tutorial a (long) while ago describing how I use it for non-Qt projects:

I tested a lot with the "top" command and I found out that the bug was JtR only kills its children when ascii code 3 ( CTRL-c) or 'q'. is pushed on the keyboard, not with signals.

Can you cherry-pick those out of the fork branch to a new branch? I'd like to keep these sub-tasks as independent as possible when it comes the time for you create the PRs.

It'll make me more autonomous if you guys take a vacation this summer, I'll be able to take on new tasks easily. Also, I'll focus more on those points this week:

I'll reply to the 1.4.2 task thread.

Let's delay this a bit longer.
Thanks!
