#271 Clicking an error in the errors list doesn't open the corresponding line when execution directory is not the project root path

[Mystery Keeper]

If project execution directory is set to anything other than the project root path - clicking on the error in compilation errors list does not open the corresponding file and shows the line where the error has occured as it should.

Can you post a minimal project that can be used to reproduce the problem?
Can you post the full build log from the project?

That's a bit complicated thing to do. But I can clarify a bit. My project is Qt project. Source files are kept in "src" folder, and project file is kept in "pro" folder. Execution directory is set to "./pro/".
Here is how an error looks in the build log:
..\src\preview../settings/settingsmanager.cpp:723:9: error: 'whiteddddd' is not a member of 'Qt'
But in the "Build messages" tab the path is changed to:
pro\src\settings\settingsmanager.cpp
Obviously, when I double-click on an error, nothing happense. Because "src" folder is not in "pro" folder.

Looks like an issue with using mixed directory separators and some part of the code or library etc not liking mixed separators.

Example of this from the build log in case it disappears is:
