Code Style settings are not being followed

[mqduck]

In Qt Creator, the Code Style settings under the Pointers and References tab seem to have no effect. This shows up when I have the IDE automatically fill out the parameter list of a previously prototyped function.

For instance, this bit of code which follows the style settings:
void sortDataStack(DataStack* const data)

becomes this:
void sortDataStack(DataStack * const data)

The settings in ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/codestyles/Cpp/qt2.xml match those set in the program. I'm using Qt Creator 3.6.1. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it worth filing a bug or is version 3 no longer maintained?

EDIT: I just tried it in Qt Creator 4.0.2 and the problem still exists.
