Touch Events Don't Register Properly Under Certain Apps (Qt5)

Hi, I have Arch Linux ona Dell Laptop (Inspiron 15 7537). The desktop is gnome and it has an elan touchscreen.

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech G100s Optical Gaming Mouse     	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN Touchscreen                        	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad              	id=15	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD                    	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=14	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys                        	id=16	[slave  keyboard (3)]

For the most part, the touchscreen works out of the box. I haven't done anything configuration for it. However, qt5 apps and Telegram do not register touch events. The apps I have tried are Telegram, Cutegram, Qupzilla and the lxqt desktop. With chromium, firefox and gnome apps the touch screen works perfectly. This doesn't seem completely limited to qt5 because telegram doesn't work also and it doesn't rely on qt5 at all afaik. Qt4 apps like VLC and Skype work fine. 

For example, if I launch qupzilla, I can move the window around using the touchscreen, but if I touch something within the interface like the menu bar, the cursor moves but I can't open a part of the menu such as file or focus on the address bar.

Is this a bug or am I missing a package? I have tried the latest Manjaro Gnome livecd and I do not have these problems.
