I am sorry, but this sort of argument is limiting innovation. "We have
always done things like this, so even if incorrect now, we cannot change
it".

I am afraid that I cannot agree on this in general without going into the
specifics of this issue. We must be open to new point of views and ways of
thinking. Personally, I think that Shawn / Giuseppe's proposal are getting
in the right direction.

It feels wrong to suggest that Qt has an architecture where drag and drop
means widgets are never released. It does concern a few of us, apparently.

For sure, mouse press (-> drag and drop) -> release is the workflow a user
and therefore the developer for the user (your API user) would intuitively
expect. You may say that this can only be Qt 7 material and need a
workaround for Qt 6, which is fine for me. But let us improve things!
