PySide (Qt 4.8.6) skips mouse events

I see that you’re doing a .raise_() on the widget. Could it be that the mouse up event gets consumed by another widget because the stack order has changed?

EDIT: you’re also calling .update() on the widget. I wasn’t sure if you’d wrapped this with your own code. Hmmm…

I still think your mouse up event might be getting lost because it is busy handling mouse move events.
