    Description

      As title says. This was found in discussion ensured here about non-working kinetic scroll.

      Steps to reproduce:

      Build this code:

      // compile as: g++ test.cpp -o a -O0 -g3 -fPIC $(pkg-config --cflags --libs Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets)
      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QLabel>
      #include <QScrollArea>
      #include <QDebug>
      #include <QMetaEnum>
      
      void gen_label_text(QLabel& label) {
          const char sentence[] = "'th sentence here\n";
          QString text;
          for (int line = 0; line < 1e3; ++line) {
              text += QString::number(line) + sentence;
          }
          label.setText(text);
      }
      
      /// Gives human-readable event type information.

      QDebug operator<<(QDebug str, const QEvent * ev) {
         static int eventEnumIndex = QEvent::staticMetaObject
               .indexOfEnumerator("Type");
         str << "QEvent";
         if (ev) {
            QString name = QEvent::staticMetaObject
                  .enumerator(eventEnumIndex).valueToKey(ev->type());
            if (!name.isEmpty()) str << name; else str << ev->type();
         } else {
            str << (void*)ev;
         }
         return str.maybeSpace();
      }
      
      struct QScrollAreaWrapper : public QScrollArea {
          bool event(QEvent* ev) override {
              qDebug() << "handling an event " << ev;
              return QScrollArea::event(ev);
          }
      };
      
      int main(int argc, char **argv) {
          QApplication app (argc, argv);
          QLabel label;
          gen_label_text(label);
          QScrollAreaWrapper qsa;
          qsa.setWidget(&label);
          qsa.show();
          // set Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents wherever possible
          label.setAttribute          (Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents, true);
          qsa.setAttribute            (Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents, true);
          qsa.viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents, true);
      
          return app.exec();
      }
      

      Run the application, do scroll with a touchpad, and look at the application output (it will print input events as they come).

      Expected:

      The output has "Touch" strings in it, like "TouchBegin", etc.

      Actual

      The output has no "Touch" strings, instead it has events like "HoverMove" and "Wheel".
