Environment:
- MacBook Air M4
- macOS 27 Beta
- Safari
- Safari Technology Preview
Issue: I am experiencing an issue where mouse/trackpad clicks are intermittently ignored near the bottom portion of a webpage. The trackpad hardware appears to be functioning normally, as physical clicks are registered and the issue does not occur consistently across all browsers.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Safari or Safari Technology Preview.
- Navigate to a webpage with interactive elements near the bottom of the visible page.
- Attempt to click links, buttons, or text fields located in approximately the bottom quarter of the browser window.
- Observe that clicks are sometimes not registered.
- Resize the Safari window so that the affected area is no longer located in the bottom portion of the screen.
- Attempt the same clicks again.
Expected Result: Clicks should be consistently registered regardless of their position within the webpage.
Actual Result: Clicks in the lower portion of the webpage are sometimes ignored. Resizing the window may temporarily resolve the issue.
Additional Information:
- The trackpad itself appears to function normally.
- Physical clicks are detected.
- I have observed the issue in both Safari and Safari Technology Preview.
- I tested the same website in Perplexity Comet, where the issue does not appear to occur.
- This suggests the issue may be related to Safari’s rendering, hit-testing, event handling, or window management rather than the website itself.
Has anyone else been able to reproduce this on macOS 27 Beta?
