[Qt-interest] QGraphicsScene and multitouch events

[Luiz Geovani Vier]

Hello Devendra,

Since you are not using gestures, maybe you could try to unregister the
recognizers:

QGestureRecognizer::unregisterRecognizer(Qt::PanGesture);
QGestureRecognizer::unregisterRecognizer(Qt::SwipeGesture);
QGestureRecognizer::unregisterRecognizer(Qt::PinchGesture);

It seems the standard gesture recognizers are not able to dispatch the
events to multiple items on a scene simultaneously... Maybe that's
interfering with your touch events.

Also, try to accept the touch begin events

Good luck..
