`<td onMouseDown={...} />` should trigger jsx-a11y/no-noninteractive-element-interactions

I just upgraded from eslint 6 to 9, and in the process, discovered that there was a change to no longer warn on this

<div onMouseDown={() => console.log('mouse down')}>Mouse down</div>

Seems it was very intentional. Curious of the motivation?

The linked line is to preserve behavior due to an underlying change in aria-query, and doesn't seem relevant to this div.

eslint 6 ro 9 is large, and the eslint version wouldn't have affected this. What plugin versions show this change?

My mistake, i'm actually doing eslint 8 -> 9.

I made a minirepo to show:

• eslint v9 + eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y v6.10: branch master
• eslint v8 + eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y v6.9: branch v6.9

I would assume that if you upgrade this plugin first - before upgrading eslint - you'll see the same change? (generally it's best to update one thing at a time anyways)

Assuming that's the case, then it's likely due to an aria-query update (referenced by 4925ba8) bringing the plugin more in line with proper role classifications on the web.
