I suspect it happens because the 2-step caret movement handles the mousedown event to clear link attributes from the selection and it probably does not fire on mobile.

@niegowski I checked it, it's fired, but it's fired after selection change event, which makes this function behave incorrectly. Fixed it in PR.

I cannot reproduce this, @kubaklatt could you share the iOS/Safari version.

@Witoso I checked again and the issue is still reproducing.

iOS and Safari version - 18.0.1

@kubaklatt Can you test if this still happens in this PR?

[Witoso]

Ok, "remove the selection" step needs to always move after the link, it cannot be moved to other piece of text and back to the link.

@Mati365 I checked this PR and from what I see it fixes this bug 👍🏻
