See example in https://codepen.io/chadoh/pen/gWyBzV

Safari tries to be smart and not allow users to focus a field that wouldn't be usable.

The problem is that fields can be focused by clicking on their label or tabbing into them, and either CSS `:focus` styles or JS may make the field usable upon such an action.

Does this affect any live web sites?

I have not crawled the internet to check, but probably? It was affecting a website I built, until customers reported a bug, and I tracked down the issue to this bug in Safari.

We disagree with Chrome and Firefox here.
