This might start working after https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/issues/1720, specifically once we remove the hitbox testing which used to be required and theoretically is removable now.

Closing as a dupe of https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/issues/1720, we can reopen if it doesn't get resolved by getting rid of the hitbox testing.

Closing as a dupe of #1720, we can reopen if it doesn't get resolved by getting rid of the hitbox testing.

How likely is this to happen #1720 has been open since 2021?

We'd very much like to do it. We just haven't had the bandwidth yet. We accept contributions if you or anyone would be interested in pitching in.
