User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_3) AppleWebKit/600.6.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.6 Safari/600.6.3

Steps to reproduce:

i added pointer-events: none; to a pseudo element.


Actual results:

the pseudo element is still the target of mouse events.


Expected results:

the pseudo element should ignore mouse events.

Presumably we do the pointer-events check on the actual target of the event, which is the non-anonymous element, not the pseudo-element...

This bug was mentioned in this article: https://codepen.io/MartijnCuppens/full/MBjqbM/

That is actually bug 1089326, fwiw. That is, replacing the <button> for a <div> works.

I think this is working as expected actually.

Our behavior is consistent with chrome here and I think this makes sense. The behavior for pseudos is equivalent to:

 <span onclick="alert(1)"><span style="pointer-events: none">Clicking me alerts</span></span>

So I think this is invalid.
