QQuickPaintedItem mouseReleaseEvent gets only called after doubleclick - qt

Question

I've derived a class from QQuickPaintedItem in which I want to handle the mousePressEvent and the mouseReleasEvent (and also the mouseMoveEvent but that is not my prolem now).
The mousePressEvent gets called properly everytime the left mouse button is pressed. But the mouseReleaseEvent gets only called after a double click. What I expected is to get the event everytime the button is released. How can I change this?
This is what I do:
MyView::MyView(QQuickItem *parent):
QQuickPaintedItem(parent)
{
setAcceptedMouseButtons(Qt::LeftButton);
}
void MyView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *evt)
{
//gets called after every single mouse click
qDebug("mousePressEvent");
if(evt->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
{
//do something...
evt->accept();
}
else
{
evt->ignore();
}
QQuickPaintedItem::mousePressEvent(evt);
}
void MyView::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *evt)
{
//gets only called when releasing the mouse button after a double click
qDebug("mouseReleaseEvent");
if(evt->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
{
//do something...
evt->accept();
}
else
{
evt->ignore();
}
QQuickPaintedItem::mouseReleaseEvent(evt);
}

So I finally found the solution!
Calling the base class implementation is a bad idea since the base class simply calls ignore() on the event. Here is the base class implementation:
void QWindow::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *ev)
{
ev->ignore();
}
void QWindow::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *ev)
{
ev->ignore();
}
So this is how it works:
MyView::MyView(QQuickItem *parent):
QQuickPaintedItem(parent)
{
setAcceptedMouseButtons(Qt::LeftButton);
}
void MyView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *evt)
{
//gets called after every single mouse click
qDebug("mousePressEvent");
if(evt->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
{
//do something...
evt->accept();
}
else
{
evt->ignore();
}
//DON'T DO THIS:
//QQuickPaintedItem::mousePressEvent(evt);
}
void MyView::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *evt)
{
//now gets called with every mouse release since we don't call the base class any more
qDebug("mouseReleaseEvent");
if(evt->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
{
//do something...
evt->accept();
}
else
{
evt->ignore();
}
//DON'T DO THIS:
//QQuickPaintedItem::mouseReleaseEvent(evt);
}
