[Interest] Preventing Apple Pencil to be grabbed by a PointHandler when a Flickable is on top

[Nuno Santos]

Shawn,

Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry for taking so long. I was overwhelmed. I’ve created the bug report:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-141482

Thank you!

Best regards,

Nuno

Regardless of hardware there's a series of QTabletEvents, which are little used in Qt Quick so far (although it's been on my backlog to make better use of them, for many years now!) After each unhandled QTabletEvent, a QMouseEvent is sent.  In this case you expect it to behave the same as a series of real mouse events, but it doesn’t for some reason.
