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.
