1135238 - When building event regions descendants of opacity:0 elements may be skipped

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout, defect)

In bug 1116588 I added the check at [1] as a way of getting event-regions on opacity:0 items but without too much of a performance hit in cases where we didn't need it. However tn pointed out recently that children elements might set pointer-events back to auto or something, and right now the code will just skip the entire subtree, missing those. For correctness we should handle that case but practically speaking it's a pretty edge case that I'm not sure we'll run into anytime soon. Filing this bug so we don't forget about it.
