Dear Ekke,

My guess that making

selectByMouse: true

is a general recommendation and for Widgets as well.

There are some recommendations on net as for getting rid from
handles by placing a null image, but hopefully the issues will be fixed
somewhere in Qt-5.9.1

Thanks once more.

Kind regards,
Robert
