For future reference: if we try to enable pointerlock during the pointermove event, we get the exception "Pointer lock requires a user gesture." which is a result of the "engagement gesture" requirement that existed in the 2016 version of this spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-pointerlock-20161027/#glossary) but is no longer a factor in spec-complaint browsers (Chrome and Firefox). Source code for that exception: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/982c9baee3b84661bb70d26ccf0067001572819e/Source/WebCore/page/PointerLockController.cpp#L90 Safari also chooses to push all content in the page down, causing a resize of the whole web app, when showing its dialog which is another reason we can't use the pointerlock API. |
