qml pincharea doesn't work with opengl, works good otherwise

[Lorenzo]

Hi,

I found a strange behaviour with Nokia QT pincharea / gestures recognization.

I have a Intel i3(amd64) and a Touchscreen monitor workin with Enac multitouch-hid.

I have a ubuntu 12.04 with xorg, utouch and QT.

I need multitouch support (pinch recognization) in Qt Quick,
but I think that utouch-qml doesn't recognize pinch movement very well, so I'd like to go with the embedded
PinchArea in QT4.8 (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-pincharea-members.html)

.. and It work's very well, but..

when I launch my app with opengl enabled, (with qmlviewer -opengl for example), It's stops to work!

And I get many of these errors:

Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 83
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 83
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 83
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 83
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82
Got touch without getting TouchBegin for id 82

I make some reseach on google, and I found only some links from ubuntu
so I think there is something with Ubuntu implementation of QT4.8
(https://code.launchpad.net/~utouch-team/ubuntu/natty/qt4-x11/xi2.1/+merge/50952)

It's a ubuntu bug, or something with QT?
What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

My colleague and I debugged this issue and prepared patch for it.

If we undrestood correctly, bug was caused by code that searches widget that should get touch input. It checks with "childAt()" which child should get input, but doesn't pass event to root widget if no children found (as done in other event handlers, for example in "translateWheelEvent()").

This bug can be reproduced if you try to get touch input in root widget (native X11 window, e.g. call "show()" on Qt widget without parents).

Also, looks like when any widget calls "QWidget.winId()" directly or indirectly (e.g. by setting that this widget is rendering with OpenGL) widget being promoted to native, and too became root of input widgets hierarchy.

Attached patch was tested on our application and Qt demos on Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10.
