The rating strip was a sibling of the cell's TouchArea, declared after it
so that hit-testing reached the stars first. That half worked: a star
click set a rating without also opening the image.
The other half did not. Hover is tracked per TouchArea, and Slint sends
`Exit` to any item that drops out of the hit path. The strip taking the
pointer is exactly that — `cell-touch` left the path, `has-hover` went
false, and `show-empty` went with it. On an unrated cell the stars are
drawn *only* on hover, so they vanished as the pointer arrived at them;
the click then landed on the cell behind and opened the image. Reported
as "the star menu disappears when I click on an image", which is
precisely what it does.
Nesting the strip inside `cell-touch` keeps both halves. Children are
hit-tested before the element containing them, so a star still wins the
click and still ends the walk before `cell-clicked` runs. And an ancestor
stays on the item stack: it gets no `Exit`, and while a child holds the
grab it is handed the event filter and never the event. Hover therefore
holds for as long as the pointer is anywhere in the cell.
