For high-precision wheel scrolling sequences, the widget that gets
the first (typically ScrollBegin) event grabs the wheel. Qt directs
all future wheel events within the same sequence (i.e. until ScrollEnd)
to that widget.
QGraphicsView passes wheel events through to the item under the mouse,
and QGraphicsProxyWidget implements wheelEvent to forward a synthesized
QWheelEvent to the embedded widget. Since QGraphicsView's viewport has
already grabbed the wheel, any forwarded event would end up back in
QGraphicsView, resulting in infinite recursion (if the assert doesn't
fail first in debug builds).
The correct fix requires that QGraphicsProxyWidget knows that this is
a high-precision wheel event, allowing it to adjust the wheel grabber
temporarily to the embedded widget. However, QGraphicsSceneWheelEvent
doesn't provide this information.
To fix the infinite recursion, mark the generated event as synthesized
by Qt (but still send it spontaneously to enable propagarion within
the proxy widget hierarchy). In QApplication's notification routine,
interpret such events then to override the wheel grabber.
Add a test case for the various scenarios. This 6.1 compatible fix
does not pass all situations. A follow up commit that introduces the
missing APIs to QGraphicsSceneWheelEvent then fixes those as well.
