Describe the issue

Using Qfield with bluetooth mouse does not seem to work properly in the newest version (worked on the previous version)

Reproduction steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect bluetooth mouse to device
2. On Qfield try to open menus, digitize, drag or any other action (except zooming) with mouse and it does not work.
   a. Also, you can notice during digitizing that that coordinate cursor is not connected to the mouse cursor
3. Additionally tested to alter the setting: "Consider mouse as a touchscreen device" which did not affect the behavior

Expected behavior

Using the mouse worked on the previous versions

@ollirantanen1 , can you manually install QField 3.4.3 from here (https://github.com/opengisch/QField/releases/tag/v3.4.3) and confirm that the version works with your bluetooth mouse?

[ollirantanen1]

Unfortunaly I don't have access to needed devices but our testers reported the problem today after they started using the new version. One of them had used the previous version this morning which worked with the mouse but when they updated the new version it did not work. The actual version is unknown but they updated it on the 22.10.2024 so it most likely was 3.4.3.

Edit: One of our testers has 3.4.1. and another one 3.4.3. and the mouse works well without any issues

One significant change between 3.4.3 and 3.4.4: we upgraded from Qt 6.6.3 to 6.7.3. I suspect it's an upstream change that led to this situation.

@ollirantanen1 , if you are able to have your testers try an APK, we're updating to Qt 6.8.1 for the next release, and that issue could have been resolved here.

The test APKs are here: #5880 (comment)

[ollirantanen1]

@nirvn I asked our users and they updated the newest version from play store (3.4.7) and it works as it did in 3.4.3

[nirvn]

@ollirantanen1 , ah yeah, this is because in QField 3.4 we downgraded to Qt 6.6; but it'd be good to test the above-mentioned APK to see how Qt 6.8.1 will handle the bluetooth mouse.

@nirvn I tested the APK in #5880 and unfortunately the bluetooth mouse does not really work. Any buttons or scrolling on the map canvas do not work. The buttons do get highlighted when pressing and also in the opening screen clicking on a recent project opens a drop-down menu as if you had held it down for longer.

On 3.4.7 it works as expected.
