Using QGraphicsEffects with high dpi mode can lead to a wrong clip being used.

The two attached example projects both set Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling, add a QGraphisEffect on a parent widget that has a clipped child widget.

The first test case is the minimal test case, reduced to only what is necessary.

In the second test case is a bit bigger, since it uses a QScrollArea.

In the first test case, the parent widget has a height of 400px, and button is placed at y = 300 px with height 200px. Thus the top 100px of the button should be visible and the bottom 100px of the button should be clipped away by the parent.

A yellow QGraphicsDropShadow effect is applied to the parent widget.

The attached screenshot shows how this test case looks with:
(From left to right)
1) No high dpi scaling + no graphics effect
2) No high dpi scaling + graphics effect
3) High dpi scaling + no graphics effect
4) High dpi scaling + graphics efect

I've upload a patch for this issue to codereview: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/177407/

That patch also fixes https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55698, and thus I've assigned this bug to you, too.
