> As flickable webView wouldn't receive the mouse events is there any benefit of enabling mouse events for it?

Sorry, I was somewhat superficial when reading your questions and did not look at the patch.

If the Flickable is in use the mouse handling on the WebView has to be disabled since they will be delivered to the Flickable first, which is undesirable.
This is another reason why we need to subclass Flickable for the WebView item instead of internally instantiating it.

Qt only synthesizes mouse events for touch events which were not accepted, so if the touch event sent by the touch device would be accepted we would not receive a mouse event from Qt.

MiniBrowser and the WebView is indeed not yet prepared for the mentioned hybrid devices and fixing this is clearly not the scope of this bug.

For the currently supported configurations we should keep the distinction between the touch and desktop view, hence I think this patch is correct and fixes inconsistent behavior of the web view.
