I was ready to create my bug report with sample code etc, and came across

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-26358

which seems to be related because I was able to confirm paintEvent is
not called with this flag set. Could somebody take a quick look at
that report and tell me if I should add to that report or create a new
one? I am just wondering since the bug report is quite old.
