YES, got it fixed!
The solution was quite simple. In this case i simply had to add
"preventStealing: true" to the MouseArea as given in my example. It's
even described in the docs:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-mousearea.html#preventStealing-prop
It feels a bit nasty though..

While putting that preventSteaning in QtCreator (2.4.1) i also notices
a big in there. QtCreator seems to thing the property preventStealing
does not exist. It obviously does. The import is import QtQuick 1.1 so
everything is fine there.
