Description

[soniarode]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.117 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I created https://jsfiddle.net/hkdjLr1f/2/ to demonstrate. It reproduces consistently.

1. Create an <img> with usemap and a corresponding <map><area>
2. Add a listener to <area> pointerdown that calls setPointerCapture() on the <area>
3. Click the <area>

Actual results:

pointerdown and pointerup events are fired.

Expected results:

pointerdown, pointerup, and click events are fired.

Feel free to update the test as well with new element types such as <area> thing mentioned here.
