            Bug ID: 263621
           Summary: Log to the console when preventDefault() is called
                    inside a passive event listener
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DOM
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The DOM standard makes this recommendation:

```
There are scenarios where invoking preventDefault() has no effect. User agents are encouraged to log the precise cause in a developer console, to aid debugging.
```

We should respect that for the case when preventDefault() is called on an event inside a passive event listener, since that has no effect and might not be what the developer is expecting.
