Blazor webassembly: @onwheel:preventDefault has no effect

[sergey-su]

Describe the bug

Adding @onwheel:preventDefault attribute does not prevent the default scrolling behavior.

To Reproduce

In Counter demo project, on Index page

<h1 @onwheel:preventDefault>Hello, world!</h1>

The page still bumps up or down when I perform two fingers scroll gesture which indicates that the event was not suppressed.

Further technical details

Counter demo project on mac from command line. Versions:

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly" Version="5.0.0-preview.7.20365.19" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.DevServer" Version="5.0.0-preview.7.20365.19" PrivateAssets="all" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Net.Http.Json" Version="5.0.0-preview.7.20364.11" />

Workarouond

interop.js:

window.myUtils = {
    addDefaultPreventingHandler: function (element, eventName) {
        element.addEventListener(eventName, e => e.preventDefault(), { passive: false });
    }
};

the page:

protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
{
    if (firstRender)
        await jsRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("myUtils.addDefaultPreventingHandler", myElementReference, "wheel");
}

Possibly blazor does not set the passive option correctly when it adds its event listener. It should disable the scroll optimization by setting passive: false when @on<EVENT>:preventDefault is present for a scrolling event in the razor markup.

We're moving this issue to the .NET 9 Planning milestone for future evaluation / consideration. Because it's not immediately obvious what is causing this behavior, we would like to keep this around to collect more feedback, which can later help us determine how to handle this. We will re-evaluate this issue, during our next planning meeting(s).
If we later determine, that the issue has no community involvement, or it's very rare and low-impact issue, we will close it - so that the team can focus on more important and high impact work.
