    Description

      DoSomething(WithSomething());
      

      To step into the DoSomething() function (above) one has to first step into WithSomething(),
      then step-into (F11) again just before leaving the WidthSomething() function in order to
      enter DoSomething(). This is hard to get right. Qt Creator should allow stepping into
      DoSomething() by pressing F11 just after exiting WithSomething(), not before exiting.

      Put in another way; if you press F11 to step into WithSomething(), then press F10 to step
      through it's implementation until you exit it, then you return out to the next line. Thus you
      don't have the option of pressing F11 again to step into DoSomething().
