TOPIC: Coordinates of a pointercancel event https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/463
16:04:21 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Review/discuss proposed PR https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/464
16:05:05 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq made a suggestion/comment here https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/463#issuecomment-1431792215
16:06:30 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: when i look at pointerup and pointercancel, i wonder if we want to change pointerup the same way as well
16:07:04 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Rob: we made conscious decision to go with 0 for pointerup, as it makes sense from an event stream perspective
16:07:37 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Rob: in my mind it makes sense that they're not identical (pointerup being empty, pointercancel carrying the last known good values)
16:08:35 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: thinking about perspective of spec maintenance. we now list a bunch of properties... developers can get those values by just checking the last pointermove
16:08:44 [mustaq]
https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/pointerevents/464/ed733e3...1aefdf1.html
16:08:54 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: so is this not an edge case that makes the spec bulkier for no actual developer gain
16:09:52 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: concerned that if the spec changes in future, we may go out of sync
16:10:03 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Rob: what are you suggesting?
16:10:19 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: we're changing spec without any benefit (to developers)
16:10:49 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: we can motivate developers to just listen to pointermove, and not pointercancel
16:13:45 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: I made it quite explicit, listing all properties, and explicitly saying coalescedEvents and predictedEvents will be empty, to avoid handwavy confusion later on.
16:14:34 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: I conceptually quite like this, as I can imagine as a developer maybe you're not been following EVERY pointermove, but when you get a pointercancel you want to make absolutely sure you "clean up house" on whatever you were doing just when the cancel happened
16:17:39 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
[discussion about consistency: with the proposed change to pointercancel, we specify values for pointercancel. but for pointerup, we say pressure is zero in the pressure property definition as a note]
16:18:03 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: happy to move the note from 4.1 where it talks about pressure to a similar matching paragraph in the pointerup event description. does that make sense?
16:18:09 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
[mustaq and rob agree]
16:19:01 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
ACTION: merge the proposed PR, patrick to create matching/similar PR to move note about pressure into pointerup definition
16:19:37 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
TOPIC: Wacom Airbrush and tangentialPressure

16:24:10 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: we shipped tangentialPressure and twist together, but it may be incomplete
16:25:56 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: problem is likely that there's not many devices that have this
16:26:16 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: will ping Olli separately to see if he knows why it's not in Firefox implementation either
16:26:58 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
ACTION: Mustaq/Patrick/Olli to investigate if implementation is incomplete in browsers

16:28:11 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
TOPIC: should note be normative...
16:28:37 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: if i search spec for passive, I only see this one mention. did we want to make the note normative or did we consciously choose to make it non-normative?
16:29:23 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: so looking in section 11 https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/pointerevents/464/ed733e3...1aefdf1.html#compatibility-mapping-with-mouse-events the note: Compatibility mouse events can't be prevented when a pointer event EventListener is set to be passive [ DOM ].
16:32:31 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: I'm happy to make this an actual normative prose, not a non-normative note. don't think there was any actual reason/rationale for us to make it a note...
16:32:50 [mustaq]
Sounds good, I will add a test soon accordingly.
16:33:02 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: noting that the entire section 11 is OPTIONAL, but that should not prevent us from making this normative text (normative as in "IF a UA does this, THEN this is normative")
16:34:19 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
ACTION: remove the "note" bit, and make this part of the normative text
16:34:54 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
TOPIC: Meta-issue: update WPT to cover Pointer Events Level 3 https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/445
16:35:14 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: I see that work has been progressing nicely on this, so no concerns
16:35:31 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Mustaq: have been working on 3 at the moment, will carry on
16:35:42 [mustaq]
I am working on #403, #404 and #457
16:35:45 [Github]
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/403 : Expand prose about preventing compatibility mouse events and make it normative
16:35:45 [Github]
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/404 : Add note about rounding coordinates for click, auxclick, contextmenu
16:35:45 [Github]
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/457 : pointerout even if the pointer doesn't move?
16:36:02 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: and I know Olli has been working on a few
16:36:51 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
TOPIC: Heartbeat: Clarify what the target of the click event should be after capturing pointer events https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/356
16:37:53 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: I know there's not been movement. Suggest that once we closed all other issues, we have a meeting to decide what to do with this in the meantime (deferring to next version and explicitly mentioning it in spec, for instance)
16:39:03 [Patrick_H_Lauke]
Patrick: if there's no further issues, we'll adjurn for now. Thank you both
