1. `jquery-3.6.4.js` is a file that contains the jQuery library, which is commonly used for simplifying HTML document traversing and manipulation in JavaScript.
2. The error message indicates an issue with a specific event listener that was created using jQuery version 3.6.4 or later (since this is the file referenced in the error message).
3. The first part of the error message, `Unable to preventDefault inside passive event listener`, refers to an attempt by JavaScript code within that file (or a plugin it uses) to call the `preventDefault()` method on an event object.
4. However, because this particular event listener was marked as "passive" when it was registered (using the `{ passive: true }` option), attempting to call `preventDefault()` inside this event listener is not allowed.
5. When an event listener is marked as "passive," it means that the browser will handle the event without calling `preventDefault()` by default, and any attempts to call this method inside such an event listener are ignored.
6. The second part of the error message is a helpful suggestion for developers that they should consider refactoring their code to handle events in different ways, such as using event delegation or other approaches, instead of trying to use `preventDefault()` within passive event listeners.
7. To resolve the error message and prevent this issue from occurring in your codebase, you should review any custom JavaScript or jQuery plugins that use `preventDefault()` within passive event listeners and modify them to handle events differently.
8. For more information on the differences between active and passive event listeners, refer to the MDN Web Docs article [EventListeners](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/event_state#passive).
