It can be said it work around Qt bugs, so yeah, not too happy it's needed.
maybe to commit to it slightly less it could be put into the plasma-workspace imports (as to say it can be used only in containments)
But works around the very way how events are managed in Qt. once a child accepted a press (and maybe some moves) it can't really be interrupted as two items can't accept the same event. So this fakes it by sending fake events to cancel the management cycle initiated by the child on mouyse press. don't think there is really a way about it as is how Qt event management work (and not only in qtquick)
