The thing I would like to do is to make a container item (widget) and to scroll other items inside it. (a scroll-box of sorts)

I've set the ItemClipsChildrenToShape flag so that children do not get painted outside of the container widget.

The problem is that clipped parts of the contained widgets receive mouse hover and leave events (possibly other events too, I havent checked)

Is there a way to inhibit the mouse (hover and leave) events for the parts of the widgets that are not shown? (handlesChildEvents doesn't apply to hover events, according to docs)

Cheers!
