A simple reader for web comics:

I think this is the same limitation as in

I think you are correct. In my opinion this is an awful
design choice, as it effectively eliminates not only
mouse events as noted, but (it seems) keypress events.

It would seem not impossible for this hidden "child widget"
to pass events along to its parent. That might be tricky
to implement, but it would keep the tricky-ness inside Qt
instead of encouraging developers to proliferate their
own obscure and fragile work-arounds.
