Hi all,

this mysterious gray dot has nothing to do with any action, as stated
above. Its something deep inside Qt, as i've noticed that our canvas
redraws everything properly and then Qt paints that dot above our
canvas.

I've tried today to fix that, but sadly i've failed after 4 hours
of work on that.
