Description

Problem

Clicking a button inside a modal (Primer-style) times out after 30s of retries: the element is reported visible/enabled/stable, but a backdrop div intercepts pointer events on every attempt.

element.evaluate((b) => b.click()) on the same locator succeeds instantly.

Environment

Relay 0.6.0, extension 0.0.24, protocol v2, extension-backed Chromium tab.

Request

Document the dispatched-click fallback for backdrop interception, or have the executor detect the intercepting backdrop and retry via dispatched click automatically.

Research direction

Start from the executor's locator.click handling and reproduce the modal-backdrop case in the extension-backed Chromium tab. Done means either documenting the dispatched-click fallback or making the executor detect the intercepting backdrop and retry with a dispatched click.
