It's the opposite in Qt, the event filter is tested first, and if the 
filter returns true, the event will not even reach the widget.
See the reference doc:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#installEventFilter

And test this code where no text can be typed in a QtWidgets.QTextEdit 
(and no mouse clicks) because an event filter filters events before the 
QTextEdit receives them:

class Filter(QObject):
	def eventFilter(self, target, ev):
		return True

app = QApplication([])
f = Filter()
sci = QTextEdit()
sci.installEventFilter(f)
sci.show()
app.exec_()

So the events (like mouse press) sent to QsciScintilla should always go 
through the event filter first, and if the filter returns true, the 
QsciScintilla should not receive the event.
