Description
The definition of "single-pointer" incorrectly includes "path-based gestures", which it should not since "path-based gestures" by definition are dragging.
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/dragging-movements.html#dfn-single-pointer
single-pointer: pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures
This fails to make sense when replacing the definition for the term in the SC
2.5.7 ... can be achieved by a [pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures] without dragging,
also fails where it's using a circular definition in the SC
2.5.1 ... path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a [pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures] without a path-based gesture, unless ...
"path-based gestures can be operated with a path-based gesture without a path-based gesture"
Removing the "path-based gestures" from the definition of "single-pointer" would solve the problem in the following documents:
WCAG 2.1 single-pointer definition
Understanding 2.1
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation
WCAG 2.2 single-pointer definition
Understanding 2.2
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation
2.5.7 Dragging Movement
