Description

If a component has a @mouseover.stop handler defined, no child components can be selected via the devtools components tab. However, it works as expected using the component inspector tool.

Here's a reproduction: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-j4abqj?file=src%2Fcomponents%2FHelloWorld.vue

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and compare selection in the devtools components tab with the component inspector tool. Trace how the components tab handles selection when a parent uses @mouseover.stop, then verify that nested components remain selectable without changing the inspector behavior.
