Javascript event propagation not working as expected -

Javascript event propagation not working as expected -

window.document.addeventlistener('click', function(e) { event.preventdefault(); event.stoppropagation(); settimeout(function(){e.target.dispatchevent(e);}, 2000); }, true); <button onclick="console.log('test')">test</button>

why isn't event firing after 2 seconds? (it never fires)

according w3c dom level 3 events specficiation, event flow has 3 phases: capture, target , bubble. , if "…event.stoppropagation() has been called prior dispatch, phases must skipped".

so since stoppropagation has been called before event dispatched, no phase executed, including target phase.
