2. test hover the element, then click child element

Expected behavior

child element displayed and click event is triggered

Actual behavior

child element hidden, and click event is not triggered

User-event version

14.5.2

Environment

Testing Library framework: @testing-library/react@14.1.2

JS framework: react@18.0.2

Test environment:

DOM implementation:

Additional context

I debugged the code and found that the pointer event compared prevTarget and currTarget. When they are not equal, the mouseLeave event will be triggered, which will cause the child elements to be hidden and the target to be lost in subsequent events.
Maybe we can determine whether to trigger the mouseLeave event based on the node level, which will be closer to the browser's implementation.

Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction and trace the pointer-event handling that compares the previous and current targets. Check the existing interaction tests around hover and click behavior, then verify that hovering reveals the child and clicking it triggers the event without hiding the child first.
