Due to my window manager's (Fluxbox) implementation of click to focus, there is an enterEvent for every left button click even if the mouse was already inside the widget. This resets _overType to OverNothing because of 0d930fe.
It is unclear to me what 0d930fe tries to improve by adding enterEvent and leaveEvent. If I remove the overriding methods, everything works fine and I am also no longer restricted to the application window when resizing the visible region with the right mouse button.
