[Interest] Click and hold on close button

Porting an existing application which is in production because of
something I would not really consider as an issue (you are closing the
window anyways) to something like this would mean maybe hundreds of
hours of work and new bugs guaranteed, on all platforms.

The complaint was from our QA team that naturally tries to doing weird, crazy things to break the application.

See my earlier post from 8/19/2019: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2019-August/033636.html, so in that instance I was forced to choose between having a window without a shadow (which looks weird) or having the small white band above my custom window buttons (which also looks weird).

But after light testing with other applications, as well as the simple application I uploaded here, it appears that this might be a Qt/Windows problem, not necessarily "all Windows applications do this".
