Our team is experiencing a backward compatibility issue due to this fix. This PR is limiting the range of mouse event type and we are seeing the following type error:

 Type '((event: MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement, MouseEvent>) => void) | undefined' is not assignable to type 
 '((event: MouseEvent<Element, MouseEvent>) => void) | undefined'.

Hence, until now, grommet accepted HTMLDivElement, but now it only allows Element. I suspect this may not be backward compatible. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDivElement

Here are a couple (out of 8) of workarounds we had to apply in order to get the new typing to work

Unfortunately, this is reducing our type-specific and making our code less safe.
