Linux/Wayland,
Description
Windows provide by itself a global right click emulation on touchscreen by long hold, but under Linux there nothing like this out of box is provided and most of Qt apps are just unusable on touchscreen under it. Chromium and Gnome apps can emulate right click, but Qt apps can't do this.
I searched Qt sources to find how does Qt syntesate mouse events from touch events and it seems that the case when right click isn't provided by OS was not considered.
