-                The problem arises from the following render order requirements:
-                - The stage menu must be rendered above the stage main.
-                - The stage main must be rendered above the action panel (because the monitor page must be rendered above the action panel).
-                - The action panel must be rendered above the expandable components drop-down.
-                However since the expandable components drop-downs are child elements of the stage menu,
-                they can't be rendered lower than elements that are lower than the stage menu.
-                Therefore we opted to forego the second requirement and hide the action panel instead when something obscures it (except the expandable components).
-                We assume that QQuickRectangles are always opaque and any other item is not.
