A document illustrating the broken behavior

iOS 12.0 WebKit 605.1.15, seen on both Safari and Chrome.

Expected behavior:
when clicking on a selectable but non-editable element, e.g. <p>, a selection of type Caret is set.

Actual behavior:
no selection is set on iOS 12.

Test case:
Attached is an HTML document with various elements with an onclick handler which will print a diagnostic regarding the current selection. Expected behavior is that elements BCDE can get a Caret selection (and this is what happens e.g. on desktop Chrome and Android Chrome). However, only the editable DE will.

An additional note (I am not sure whether this is the “same bug” or a distinct one): once a selection is set, clicking on a non-selectable element (A) should not change the selection. However, on iOS 12 clicking on a non-selectable element will clear the selection.
