Steps to reproduce:

The attached test case clearly demonstrates the issue.

The scenario: clicking and dragging an element while passing mouse events through the element by applying a pointer-events:none CSS rule.

Text selection prevents the pointer-events rule being applied.

This results in an incorrect value for event.target in the mousemove event.

A solution is to use -moz-user-select: none; or event.preventDefault() on the click event which initiates the element drag.

Chrome behaves as expected


Actual results:

incorrect value for event.target in the mousemove event.


Expected results:

correct value for event.target in the mousemove event.
