Description Pierre-Yves Gérardy 2024-03-20 16:20:33 PDT

As seen in the example below, if you select text starting from outside the element (from either end) and ending within, the "pointerleave" event is fired.

There's a video that shows the issue over at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/501

What macOS/Safari version are you reproducing this? Was this working for you in a prior macOS version?

Comment 3 Pierre-Yves Gérardy 2024-03-20 22:43:05 PDT

This is on MacOS 12.6.2 / Safari 15.6.1 (17613.3.9.1.16) and TP Release 150 (Safari 16.0, WebKit 17614.1.22.1.2)

"Softwrare Update" is broken on that machine, updates are detected (MacOS 12.7.4/Safari 17.4) but somehow never applied, even when I reboot manually after asking to "Install now".

So I'm stuck with those versions.

... and I don't know if it was ever working before.
