Re: [csswg-drafts] `::backdrop` does not prevent clicks below when `pointer-events: none;` applied. Should it? (#13100)

@Psychpsyo you are obviously correct. I'm befuddled as to why and how I have come to believe the opposite is true. Maybe I was thinking that scrolling under the modal was the same as clicking, don't know. But thanks for the simple examples and education. 

Incidentally, any future travellers, if you do want to stop scrolling underneath, you can stick something like this in your CSS: 

```css
html {
    &:has(dialog:open) {
        overflow: hidden;
    }
}
```
