Add documentation to the toast.custom section explaining that custom toasts need the pointer-events: auto CSS property
Background
By default, the Toaster
provider fills the entire viewport (see screenshot below).

In order to allow background UI elements (i.e. elements in the entire app) to be clicked on, the Toaster
provider has pointer-events: none
which makes click events pass-through to whatever elements are in the background.
The problem
If you have a custom toast, the Toaster
provider's pointer-events: none
will prevent click events on your custom toast. This is not a problem with the default success/error toasts because pointer-events: auto
is set here for the default toasts.
However, if you're making your own custom toast using the toast.custom()
API, you have to add pointer-events: auto
to your custom toast so that the custom Toast can be clicked on. This wasn't obvious to me at first.
Suggestion
I recommend we update these docs to add:
Note: If your custom notification needs to respond to click events, you will need to add the `pointer-events: auto` css property to your custom toast.
Thanks 👍
