[Interest] Layouting children on Resize event vs LayoutRequest event

Hi there,
I am observing a fundamental behaviour difference when moving/resizing
children widgets in resizeEvent vs doing the same on a LayoutRequest
event.
Basically, if i move the children on Resize event, Qt will triggers
events in 2 bunches (traced with QApplication ::notify() overload),
the first bunch contains move/resize events for the parent widget
(along with other widgets), the second bunch will contains the
recently moved/resized children events. I don't want this behaviour.
If i move/resize children on LayoutRequest event, all widgets will get
their resize/move events in a single bunch. I want this behaviour.
And my question is:
Is this behaviour guarenteed by Qt? Or could this behaviour change at
any moment?
The documentation [1] doesn't say anything about that. Could/should
the documentation be updated to reflect this difference?
I think that re-layouting children on LayoutRequest is actually more
efficient. as it gives Qt an opportunity to optimise out
move/resize/paint events.
Thanks,
Chris
