722437 - event.preventedDefault is not reset after an event is dispatched

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[(no longer active)]

From the DOM3 spec:

[[
As the final step of the event dispatch, for reasons of backwards compatibility, the implementation must reset the event object's internal-propagation and default-action-prevention states. This ensures that an event object may be properly dispatched multiple times while also allowing to prevent the event object's propagation or default actions prior to the event dispatch.
