Description Zach Leatherman 2020-11-10 09:13:50 PST

Clicking a link that’s nested inside of a summary element has an odd HTML-only inconsistency.

<details>
  <summary><a href="https://www.zachleat.com/">Works in Safari</a></summary>
</details>

<details>
  <summary><a href="https://www.zachleat.com/"><span>Does not work in Safari</span></a></summary>
</details>

Tested in Safari 14. Both cases work in Firefox 82 and Chrome 86. All csaes tested on macOS Catalina (10.15.7)

The spec issue is not the same as this issue, though related. (The spec issue is about whether interactive content in <summary> should be valid in HTML.)

Thanks for filing. I can reproduce this on Safari 13.1.3 as well as 14.1 using the provided codepen.
