 From my experience on the issue with Qt on Windows 7, this mixing of 
mouse event and touch event make it impossible to do anything useful 
with the page.

The best solution I had was to discard the mouse event generated by the 
platform for the touch event. This way the touch and mouse on the same 
computer work as expected.
