Flickering mouse pointer

[guiQt]

It's a pure theoretical (and trivial, obviously) case (described above in detail).
The final goal is to develop a lot more complex custom widget (MyTextEdit class with extended QTextEdit functionalities) that besides accepting normal drag and drop originated in itself, it sends external drops to its parent.
This way it's reusable: each application using MyTextEdit class is allowed to manage external drops in its own way.

I would still want to be able to drop some text snippet into the text editor without having to implement that in the parent/subclass of the editor... Especially if that was part of the original behaviour of the text editor.

Perhaps you'll use YourTextEdit class

Perhaps I would simply block only those events I explicitly don't want instead of blocking everything which is not what I am interested in at the moment.
