nuragic has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents: == Different mousedown behavior between Firefox and Chrome/Safari == Hi, After reading [this issue](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/12584) and realizing that Chrome and Firefox handle the change event in different ways, I cannot find an answer to this one... I made a simple pen to illustrate the example (no React, just plain HTML): https://codepen.io/nuragic/pen/xWMaGN?editors=1011 ### Steps to reproduce Just click on the `select` and pick any value. ### Results Chrome / Safari: ``` "onmousedown" "onchange" ``` Firefox: ``` "onmousedown" "onmousedown" "onchange" ``` 😕 The spec https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#event-type-mousedown says: > A user agent MUST dispatch this event when a pointing device button is pressed over an element. Could anyone clarify which one is correct (or if both are ok)? Thanks!
