drop events dont propegate correctly in QWebEngineView

When dropping a file to a webpage that does accept drops, like so

class WebView(QWebEngineView):
   def {}init{}(self):
      super().{}init{}()

    def dropEvent(self, event: QDropEvent):
           print("drop event")
           event.accept()

it does print "drop event" but does not actually transfer the file to the page
without re defining the dropEvent method it works just fine
i need to redfien the drop event as i need to do some other stuff before handing it over to the page.
