Created attachment 400573 [details]
webdriver returns - true  for isDisplayed() and for isEnabled()

In case link or button or any other element which is clickable located inside of <footer> html element - webElement.click() -does not work correct -> there is no exception just nothing.
In case to perform the click on element using JS -> it works. 
I've supposed it's some issue in Project code , but I checked this functionality on github.com and apple.com websites - result the same - after click() on the such elements - nothing happens  
Please see attachments   


and just so simple code just for checking 
 

 public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver webDriver = new SafariDriver();
        webDriver.get("https://www.apple.com/tv/");
        webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//footer//a[@href = '/mac/']")).click();
// u can add this line here to have time to see or use debug mode as I ---  Thread.sleep(10000); 
        webDriver.quit();

    }


Mac OS 10.15.4, 10.15.5

This occurs when the element is located off-screen when the page loads; click() works fine for elements that are already on screen but if it requires scrolling, it will scroll but not click.

Here's a full example demonstrating this:

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
		driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
		driver.get("https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues?q=safari");
		driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[data-ga-click='Footer, go to help, text:help']")).click();
		System.out.println("Expected: 'https://help.github.com/'\nActual  : '" + driver.getCurrentUrl() + "'");
		driver.close();
	}

This sounds exactly like a bug addressed in <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208232>.

Please try using Safari Technology Preview 109+, Safari 14 betas, or the macOS Big Sur beta to verify it's been fixed.
