[PyQt] QLabel with scaled contents pixmap not updated after painting

[Maurizio Berti]

I noticed a strange behavior when drawing over an existing QPixmap of a
QLabel.
When scaledContents is false (the default), the image is updated correctly:

class Test(QtWidgets.QLabel):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(400, 400))

    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        qp = QtGui.QPainter(self.pixmap())
        qp.setBrush(QtCore.Qt.white)
        qp.drawRect(100, 100, 200, 200)
        qp.end()
        self.update()

But if I use setScaledContents(True) in the init, the image is not updated
anymore, not even after calling repaint or hiding/showing the label again.
So far, the only way I found to show the changes is to set the scaled
contents to false and back again to true, right after closing the painter.

I have to specify that I'm using an old version of PyQt (5.7.1) which I
cannot update, so maybe the issue has been already solved. Also, I'm on
Linux, using xorg-x11.

Can anyone confirm this?
