Items under MouseArea does not catch press event if it not accepted

I have an invisible Item under a MouseArea. In the MouseArea pressed event I make the Item visible and mouse.accepted=false. With Qt 5.6.2 and 5.7, the Item catches press event and accept it. But starting from Qt 5.8 the Item does not catch it. Please see attached example application.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Download and unpack the demo project.
2. Run the application with Qt 5.9.x.
3. Press on the red text.

Actual result:
Please see behavior on Qt 5.9.2(Qt5_9_2.avi).
Expected result:
Please see behavior on Qt 5.6.2(Qt5_6_2.avi).
