I'm confused/lost here (but following, as I'm a heavy end user)...I've never had the impression that preventDefault did nothing in pointer event handlers. In that linked example, for example, the preventDefault call prevents text selection with a mouse device (on Edge Chromium at least). That's the type of behavior I've always expected...has that changed?
