Possible macOS/Safari 26.5.2 bug - checkbox toggle with sidebar shown
I’m investigating a possible bug with Safari 26.5.2 and toggling checkboxes in the admin-side. For some reason, I cannot toggle any admin-side checkboxes with a mouse when the Safari sidebar is visible. The cursor stays as an arrow (i.e. it does not change to a hand-with-finger).
If you’re running Safari on macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 anywhere, I’d be grateful if you could sanity check the following, please:
i) open a Textpattern 4.9.1 admin-side instance in Safari 26.5.2
ii) ensure the sidebar is NOT visible
iii) confirm checkboxes can be toggled with a mouse / trackpad click
iv) switch the sidebar to visible, and DO NOT reload the page
v) check whether checkboxes can be toggled
vi) now reload the page
vii) check whether checkboxes can be toggled
I have an element of snow blindness after a challenging week, so I would appreciate some capable & sane eyes on this.
Thank you.

Also reproducible on Safari Tech Preview [Release 247 (WebKit 22625.1.22.19.1)].

Not sure if it’s useful or adds credence to your findings that it’s a Safari/OS bug, but it seems to work as expected in 26.5.2 under macOS Sequoia 15.7.7. Checkboxes remain togglable before, during and after showing the sidebar and reloading the page (via keyboard and trackpad).

Looks like a rendering / alignment glitch – checkboxes are toggle-able a few pixels to the right:
(Safe for work, no audio.)

Thanks, Bloke. I’ll investigate further.

Freaky! Yeah, defo looks like some Safari alignment issue, but we could be absolutely sure by seeing if it exhibits the same behaviour on any other website that has checkboxes down the left hand edge.

Probably one of bazillion SwiftUI layout bug in macOS 26.x.
I cannot seem to reproduce that with iPadOS26 (and Sandspace, no Hive available), and we only have macOS14 &15 where the issue is not present.
In low-power mode.

Thanks, phiw13 – you’re right. It seems to be limited to one of my computers, so I’ll chalk it up to another one of Tahoe’s eye-roller ‘enhancements’.

FWIW: I just upgraded for you but can’t reproduce it following your instructions.
