[Interest] QML MouseArea containsMouse is set to true even if it's not actually

[Jérôme Godbout]

Hi,
Check if you can tweak the following property on your mouse area. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html#preventStealing-prop

·         preventStealing<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html#preventStealing-prop> : bool

·         propagateComposedEvents<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html#propagateComposedEvents-prop>
You could also handle the mouse event of the mouse area and put the accepted to false to avoid eating the event: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-mouseevent.html#accepted-prop

Hope that help you find the proper behaviour are after.

Hello,

In our code we have one MouseArea which fills entire parent:
MouseArea {

    id: mouseAreaRow

    hoverEnabled: true

    anchors.fill: parent

    propagateComposedEvents: true

    onPressed: { mouse.accepted = false }

}

And we have another MouseArea which fills a small part of the same area which the first MouseArea fills:

MouseArea {

    id: mouseAreaUp

    hoverEnabled: true

    anchors.fill: parent

    cursorShape: Qt.PointingHandCursor

}

The problem is that sometimes mouseAreaUp.containsMouse continues to be set to true even after the mouse left its area. Most of the time it happens when the mouse pointer is moved very fast.

Is this a known issue or maybe some misunderstanding on our side?

Is there any workaround? Is it possible to at least force MouseArea to recheck if it really contains the mouse pointer?
