           Summary: kdevelop qmake manager curly bracket qmake variables
                    incorrectly treated as scopes

Installed from:     (testing/unstable)

Previous to using the qmake manager I was creating my .pro files manually. I was defining some variables in a global .pro file and including it into my other .pro files. In my 'other' .pro files I was using my variables using the syntax $${VARIABLE}. Most of the time, I use my variables to give my libraries versions, like -lmylib-$${VERSION}, as some people might do.

Upon importing my entire project into kdevelop 3 and starting to use qmake manager to edit my qmake project it seems that it is incorrectly parsing my variables as a scope, when it should pick it up as just text.

One easy way of fixing it manually using the qmake manager is to delete the incorrectly detected scopes and insert things like -lmylib-$${VERSION} as an external library. Doing this, qmake manager seems to treat my .pro files properly.
