It’s not clear exactly what to do.

In theory, this should all work when the mousedown and mouseup events are created by script, and so it seems the elements themselves somehow need to keep track of whether the mousedown was on the same element. But a script can create a mousedown without ever sending a mouseup later, so there may be something fundamentally flawed in that thinking.

It’s not clear what level of the software can answer the question: “Is this a mouseup that corresponds to a mousedown on the same element?”

More experiments with other browsers and research might establish whether the abstract model is state in the element, state in the browser, or hidden state in the event itself.
