Description

TanStack Devtools version

0.10.12

Framework/Library version

React 19.2.8

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

With TanStack Devtools mounted, remounting a react-resizable-panels Group breaks its hover cursor.

Steps: render Devtools alongside a Group with two Panels and a Separator. Wait for Devtools to load, then change only the Group's key and hover the separator.

Confirmed locally in Electron using these minimal components:

  • Initial mount: resize listener runs before Solid; cursor is ew-resize.
  • After remount: Solid runs first; hover is detected, but cursor stays auto.

Solid's delegated pointermove handler leaves event.currentTarget pointing to <html> instead of document. The resize library then skips cursor styling because currentTarget.defaultView is undefined.

Remounting is normal React behavior. Devtools should not change native event properties for unrelated listeners. Is this best addressed here or upstream in Solid?

Versions: @tanstack/react-devtools 0.10.12, solid-js 1.9.15, react-resizable-panels 4.12.3, React 19.2.8, Electron 44.1.0 (macOS).

Research direction

Start with the StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/App.tsx and package.json, and reproduce the cursor failure after changing the Group key. Trace the Devtools and Solid event handling described in the issue, then determine whether the fix belongs here or upstream. Done means remounting leaves the separator cursor working without changing native event properties for unrelated listeners.
