[Bug 1052076] [NEW] Widgets stop responding when enabling gestures on (evdev) multitouch device

[Cédric Dufour]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

Using Qt 4.8.2 on Ubuntu/Quantal (amd64) on a touchscreen device
(Samsung XE700, Atmel MaxTouch, stock hid-multitouch+evdev driver), I
found out that all widgets stop to work - iow. react to single-finger
touch ("mouse press") - as soon as one enables a gesture - e.g.
grabGesture( Qt::PinchGesture ) - on a widget.

What is weird is that enabling the Tap gesture on a non-responding
widget makes it reponsive again. But one can not go into enabling the
Tap gesture on all widgets in an application (I have an application with
hundreds of them, some I can't even access; e.g. the "close" button on
QStackWidget tabs)

I attach a simple test case that allows to reproduce the problem
systematically (see README for further details).

Let me know if I can help.

Best regards,

Cédric Dufour
