      Using a QtQuick MouseArea on iOS, whenever the user presses the area (touch down) and the release (touch up) happens in a system context (if we press home on iOS or recent apps on Android, for instance) mouse area is stuck in pressed state forever, and stops responding to any touch events.

      I recorded this bug on a small 20s video, attached to this bug report.
      Also attached is the code I used for the test.

      What seems to happen is that, whenever MouseArea detects a pressed event (or touch down), it waits for the corresponding release event, but as we go out of the app context when doing a gesture on iOS, the release event is never received by mouseArea, and it remains forever waiting for the release event, in pressed state.
