Reason Explanation Solution
React Uses Synthetic Events React wraps native events in SyntheticEvent, but dispatchEvent() only fires native events, bypassing React’s system. Use fireEvent() from testing libraries or trigger handlers manually.
Event Bubbles Differently React attaches event handlers at the root (document), while dispatchEvent() works directly on elements. Fire events at the right element level.
React Uses Delegated Events React listens at the root, not directly on elements, so manually dispatched events might not propagate correctly Use element.click() instead of dispatchEvent().
Not Using setTimeout React batches state updates; immediate dispatch may not work as expected. Wrap in setTimeout(() => dispatchEvent(...), 0).
