On a standard Ubuntu desktop, setting QML SwipeView's interactive property to false causes mouse events to be ignored, and propagate through the SwipeView (i.e., SwipeView becomes invisible to mouse events). In the attached example, pressing the SwipeView area will cause the background to blink.

On a touch screen however, touching/pressing the SwipeView with interactive: false blocks the events, (i.e., the events are not propagated so the SwipeView is not transparent to mouse events).

This seems unintentional; the interactive:false behavior of propagating the event is a very desirable feature as it allows interacting with elements behind the swipeview. The current touch behavior makes this impossible.

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2

Rectangle {
    width: 500
    height: 500
    color: mouseArea.containsPress ? "#ffff00" : "#00ffff"

    MouseArea {
        id: mouseArea
        anchors.fill: parent
    }

    SwipeView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        anchors.margins: 50
        interactive: false // <-- should propagate!

        Rectangle {
            color: "#ff0000"
        }
        Rectangle {
            color: "#00ff00"
        }
        Rectangle {
            color: "#0000ff"
        }
    }
}

In our test setup, we have used a standard touch screen from Acer T272HUL, with HDMI and USB connected to a desktop PC. But this issue can be reproduced on target embedded devices as well.
