When an eventListener is added to a <TR> table row element, the event.target registers as tableCell.

i only tested the "click" event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the test case file.
2. Click the second row in the table with "cell1","cell2"..etc.
Actual Results:  
event.target = tableCell element

Expected Results:  
event.target = tableRow element

I'm not sure this bug is valid.  The target is probably the table cell (since we can't render any part of the row outside of cells), and the currentTarget property would be the table row element.

Yeah, this looks invalid given that testcase.
