Graphicsitem hover highlight

[wysota]

Hi, simple case:
custom QGraphicsTextItem inside a normal QGraphicsScene and I want to change the background when the mouse is over the item.
So: setAcceptHoverEvents(true) and the hoverEnterEvent() of the item is triggered. Fine, but unless I don't call update() explicit, the background color wont change. (paint with QStyle::State_MouseOver checking.)

Do you call the base class implementation of the events?

And here's the problem. I thought, that the paint method is automatically called when hovering the item, so that you don't have to reimp hoverEnterEvent etc. If that's right, what option do I miss? (there is no mouse grabber item)

That's right. If it doesn't work then probably your paint implementation is incorrect. Can we see it?
