Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached minimal repro in Safari iOS
2. Tap after a word, like after "the"
3. Then tap before the word
4. (If issue doesn't reproduce on first try, try repeating steps 2/3)
Actual results:
Sometimes, when tapping to change the text selection, the selection will change for a split second then jump back to the original position.
I used Web Inspector to add an event listener on "selectionchange" events
document.addEventListener('selectionchange', () => console.log(document.getSelection()))
and saw that whenever the issue reproduces, one tap causes two "selectionchange" events (the first to the tapped position, the second back to the previous position). This *seems* to reproduce more frequently when the selection menu (menu with options to select/select all) is visible.
Expected results:
Tap to change the text selection changes the text selection to the position that was tapped.
