Description
Keyboard movement occasionally breaks for no apparent reason. In certain circumstances, pressing the Up and Down keys to navigate across blocks stops working, with the caret seemingly stuck until pointer intervention.
Of all the browsers, Safari seems to be the worst affected here.

Screenshots, screen recording, code snippet
In the following screencast, I just keep pressing Up until the caret gets stuck. In this case, it got stuck on the large-text paragraph, but it can get stuck anywhere. You can't tell, but I am pressing Up at that point. The only way to unstick it is to use the cursor to scroll up a little, and then the caret can resume:
