--- Comment #2 from Ahmad Saleem <ahmad.saleem792 at gmail.com> ---
Safari Technology Preview 166 is totally different behavior in this test case.

Type in text area and then "tab" and it shift focus to address bar and then shift-tab focus it back to "start of text" in the textarea rather than the last caret position.

So two issues:

1) Focus issue and not being able to go to "button"
2) Return does not going back to where our "caret" was before in the textarea

________

This commit in Blink fixed it - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/281b9124b31f6aa3c8030f06d25bef969c3964d5

In WebKit Source - https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/html/HTMLTextAreaElement.cpp#211

________

I am not super familiar with the code so if someone else want to fix it. I am happy they take the lead.

I am changing it to "New" and also changing from "New Bug" to "UI Event" and CCign some WebKit engineer (Aditya & Ryosuke) to give their input.

Thanks!
