[Qgis-developer] QgsMapCanvas::paintEvent() too frequent

[Radim Blazek]

More observations.

When mouse enters the map canvas, first 10 (unwanted?) paintEvents
are caused by QEvent::HoverMove. Following QEvent::HoverMove events
are not causing additional paintEvents.

Single QEvent::HoverLeave is followed by 10 paintEvents (QEvent::Paint
- Screen update necessary).

QEvent::WindowActivate (restore) is also followed by 10 additional (11
in total) paintEvents().

Setting stylesheet, for example: setStyleSheet(":hover
{background-color: #ff0000;}");
increases the number of paintEvents to 20.
