Hmm, can't reproduce the behaviour on iOS 12. Can you give a specific minimal example (exactly what content, where to click etc)?

I can reproduce on iOS 14.8, testing on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fighting_Temeraire. I'm pretty sure this did not occur on some earlier versions.


Note how upon the tap on "oil painting", I get a text cursor (but no keyboard). Afterwards after tapping on different links I get the link context.
