I also can't see content of vector and other containers.

Answer 1

For QT Creator 4.10, right-click on the variable you want to inspect and choose Change Value Display Format option, then select UTF-8 String in Separate Window .

Answer 2

This should be fine right from factory. Did you check if the "Enable Debugging Helpers" option in context menu from the locals/variable view is enabled.
