What steps will reproduce the bug?

const e = new EventTarget()
e.dispatchEvent({type: 'something'})

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always.

What is the expected behavior?

According to the docs, it should work.

event <Object> | <Event>

It may be a specific request but since there is a zip file handler for Android, doesn't hurt to ask for a desktop (maybe multiple backends?) implementation.

I would like to try that in the future but if anyone has time before feel free to do it.
