Steps to reproduce

Scrolling with Mouse Wheel Without Moving Mouse Never Triggers :hover styles or MouseOver/MouseOut Events Even Though Pointer Is Over Different Elements.

  1. Open Any Web Page with a :hover effect on some of the elements.
  2. Point your mouse at one of the elements to trigger the :hover style change.
  3. Scroll the mouse wheel without moving the mouse

You would expect the :hover style to be disabled once the mouse is no longer over the element, but it doesn’t. I get that this can slow down scrolling to do it with every pixel change, but there should at least be an interval where it’s updated… or at the very worst, it should update when scrolling stops. Currently it never updates. Ineterestingly, the mouse cursor does update after scrolling stops to the pointer hand or the default arrow (depending on if your mouse is over a link or not when you stop scrolling). However CSS :hover changes don’t fire until the mouse is actually moved.

      Ideally the mouse move event would fire when scrolling with a mouse wheel to reflect the new x/y coordinates of the mouse relative to the document, and all CSS/javascript event handlers would update accordingly.

      So apparently there’s a bug in the comments on this issues site where hitting “add comment” submits twice.

      This is still a problem in build 14388. Pretty obvious on sites with big mouse-over hit zones, like the homepage of www.wonderhowto.com

      Still a problem in 14393.187. Chrome and Firefox do not have this problem.

      Still a problem in 14971.

      Still a problem in 14986. Do the Edge PMs even care about all these bugs? Or only new features? I’m honestly getting ready to give up on this browser. Had such high hopes, too.
