Should event.currentTarget be set to the right element before dispatching?

[prvnsmpth]

In the current implementation, the event that is passed to dispatchEvent has event.currentTarget set to the shadow root. This might break event handling in certain scenarios.

Does it make sense to set the currentTarget before invoking the react event handler?

[prvnsmpth]

I just realized that event.currentTarget is read-only and cannot be set. Is there any other way we can make sure the react event handler sees the right currentTarget (instead of seeing the shadow root)?

You can use event.composedPath()[0], but I also found this issue a bit annoying
