    Description

      I think this bug is related to VirtualBox, but this is a regression on Qt side. This bug doesn't exist in Qt 5.2.1

      This bug is reproducible very easily with a Linux or Windows host:

      • Just open a Qt5 application with a scroll bar.
      • Scroll to the bottom, the scroll bar may jump randomly to the top.
      • When the scroll bar is at the bottom, lose the focus on the window, (select another application...).
      • Get the focus back, try the scroll to the bottom by one step, the scroll bar jump to the top, the scroll bar should stay at the bottom.

      I did analyze this bug. If there are any bug, this is located inside plugins/platforms/xcb/

      I did enable debug, and I had some printf...

      • qxcbconnection.cpp: just before the return of xi2GetValuatorValueIfSet() 
        printf("Len: %d  Num: %d  Offset: %d  Int: %d  Frac: %u  ", xideviceevent->valuators_len, valuatorNum, valuatorOffset, valuatorsValuesAddr[valuatorOffset].integral, valuatorsValuesAddr[valuatorOffset].frac);
      • qxcbconnection_xi2.cpp: just before 'We do not set "pixel" delta if it is only measured' in ticks.xi2HandleScrollEvent() 
        printf("delta: %f  value: %f  v inc: %f  deltaY: %d\n", delta, value, scrollingDevice.verticalIncrement, angleDelta.y());

      The result is :

      Len: 2  Num: 3  Offset: 0  Int: -152  Frac: 0  delta: 1,000000  value: -152,000000  v inc: -1,000000  deltaY: -120

      We can see that the variable: value is decremented during scroll down. Then when I lose the focus, and get it back the value is reseted to 0. The delta with the previous value is no longer equals to 1.00 but in this example : -153,00 => The scroll bar go up...

      To fix temporally this issue, I disabled Xinput2 with the following env variable QT5_NO_XINPUT2
