Created attachment 473932 [details] The issue in action on an iPhone. Clicking a textarea inside an open popover causes the page to become unresponsive. A demo with an HTML example can be seen here: https://sledsworth.com/posts/2024/safari-popover-woes/#text-area-issue If you are using mobile Safari, after clicking on the textarea inside the popover the whole page becomes unresponsive (besides scrolling). The popover cannot be closed, no buttons can be pressed, and some of the page isn't rendered anymore.

The same hang reproduces when you focus the textarea on macOS and then tab forwards or backwards.

PR is up here fyi: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/39433 In case you need a workaround, just make sure to put a focusable element next to the invoker (`<button tabindex=0></button>`), which will be enough to prevent the hang. Sorry for the inconvenience!

No worries, thanks for the quick turnaround! I moved to use <dialog> for my particular case, but I will look into reverting to popover once this lands in Safari. Thanks again, Tim!
