It’s “fixed” in that the PM decided to gaslight everyone on that thread by claiming pointer events are what people are asking for.

It’s not. People want working scroll/wheel/touch events. They think the entire web dev world is going to rewrite stuff to support like < 5% of 3.86% of web users. Good luck with that.

Funny how Chrome supports the exact functionality they keep claiming is impossible to support.

Note also that there’s no way to detect Edge with working events vs Edge with a precision trackpad where events aren’t dispatched to the DOM.

God this bug makes me angry.
