Sample HTML demonstrating the bug

When the focus is in the Safari address bar, and you press return to load a URL, the web page gets the Enter keyup event.

Attached is sample HTML demonstrating the bug. It simply observes keyup events and shows an alert if there's an Enter.

If you press return very fast, you can avoid the bug. However, if you press return a fraction of a second slower, the bug occurs.

This bug is new in Safari 18. Safari 17 and earlier had a delay, so that the keyup event wasn't sent to the web page unless you held down the return key for a significant amount of time before lifting. Google Chrome also has such a long delay.

Firefox never sends the Enter keyup to the web page, but it has a strange behavior where holding down the return key in the address bar causes the page to keep reloading repeatedly.

Thank you for the report! This seems like a Safari issue, not a WebKit one. Would you be willing to file it in Feedback Assistant (I don't think that a sysdiagnose is needed)? This way, Apple can be in touch with you for any follow-up. 

Please post the FB number her if you do. Otherwise, I can move this report myself.
