It's up to Qt folks to ultimately make a decision, but this is not really a bug in my opinion. Even if hardware has a touch screen, there is no guarantee that the user prefers touch interface. There are many devices that have both touchscreens and mouse-like input devices, so disabling mouse events when touch support is present is simply wrong.

I believe Google Chrome has it even worse - window.TouchEvent is exposed, but completely unimplemented.
