Qt Creator: Multi line text editing - Linux

How can one enable or use multi line editing in Qt Creator under Linux?

I know it from Windows to be shift+alt+up/down to get multiple cursors. Now on Linux, I can only use shift+alt+down to copy or paste columns of multiple lines, but i don't get multiple cursors to edit directly. Shift+alt+up triggers an (probably) Ubuntu specific tab view, so that i can't use it. I also can't seem to find that shortcut in the shortcut menu to disable it. =(

My Linux Distribution is ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Qt Creator is version 3.0.1

The column editing feature was introduced in Qt Creator 3.2 (https://www.qt.io/blog/2014/08/19/qt-creator-3-2-0-released). So an update should do the trick.
