Aha, now I see what you mean. I've never actually used QML myself, and
didn't know this (and that setting transparency to 0 is actually the
recommended way to remove it from the visual scene hierarchy).

But I think you're right, and that Peter should probably do that
instead, or otherwise make sure his old parent is created dynamically.

In any case, I tried

newParent.data.push(target);

and it seems to work, the blue rect remains. But I realize now that
.push is not documented in Qt 5 documentation
(http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-list.html) so perhaps this is not
guaranteed to be supported. In the old 4.x docs, it says there are
limitations on .push (it'll only create a new list, not modify an
existing, but don't know if this holds for 5.x).
