Public bug reported:

I’m testing a user script that uses document.elementFromPoint() to retrieve the node under a given touch point.
According to the specification (https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view/#dom-document-elementfrompoint), the coordinates passed to the method are relative to the current viewport. I verified this works well on my desktop. However when testing on a touch device (arale), for a given point the method always returns the same node, regardless of the current scroll offsets, so it appears to be interpreting the coordinates as absolute in the page.

** Affects: oxide
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- document.elementFromPoint() takes absolute coordinates on devices
+ document.elementFromPoint() takes absolute coordinates on touch devices
