    Description

      With overlapping MouseArea, it seems to be impossible to pass mouse position events from an inner MouseArea to an outer one.

      In this example, I would expect that the outer rectangle's coordinates change when mouse is moved inside the inner rectangle.

      import QtQuick 2.2
      import QtQuick.Controls 1.1
      
      Rectangle {
          color: "red"
          width: 100
          height: 100
          
          MouseArea {
              id: outer
              anchors.fill: parent
              hoverEnabled: true
          }
      
          Label { text: outer.mouseX + "," + outer.mouseY }
      
          Rectangle {
              color: "blue"
              width: 50
              height: 50
              anchors.centerIn: parent
              
              MouseArea {
                  id: inner
                  anchors.fill: parent
                  hoverEnabled: true
      
                  onPositionChanged: {
                      mouse.accepted = false // documentation says this is ignored, why is that?
                  }
              }
      
              Label { text: inner.mouseX + "," + inner.mouseY }
          }
      }
      

      This is most likely related to QTBUG-37544
