If a "bubbling" event listener is registered during the capture phase of
the event propagation, it will be triggered. If a "capturing" event
listener is registered during the capture phase of the event
propagation, it will not be triggered.

If an EventListener is added to an EventTarget while it is processing an
event, it will not be triggered by the current actions but may be
triggered during a later stage of event flow, such as the bubbling
phase.
