The same problem reported in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179011 is happening in iPadOS 18.5.
In iOS 18.5 you can currently not follow any in-page links to anything but inputs.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Activate VoiceOver on iPadOS
2. Open http://jsbin.com/wumitiw in Safari
3. Navigate to any of the links (except "link to input")
4. Follow the link (i.e. double tap)
Result:
The focus moves to the correct element for a split second and then moves back onto the link that was clicked on.
Expected:
The focus should go and stay where the link pointed to.

Is there any estimated timeframe available for a fix?

Encountered this today with iOS 26.4, though virtual focus was moved to was the first element of the page, rather than the link that was activated.
Bit of a rough one, as it renders any 'tables of contents' unusable. It feels like the severity of this should be higher.
