That has _not_ been my experience when reporting bugs to webkit.

I've reported a couple of bugs that are still there, years after I reported them.

See this one for example reported in 2016:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162512

Or this other one from 6 months ago and still no response from the team:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207049

Sadly I think this is specifically a Safari bug, so it pretty much has to go into Feedback Assistant. (I figure if you file a bug for WebKit they'll tell you to go report it there anyways.)

No way. I've reported several iOS Safari bugs to the webkit tracker and all of them were marked confirmed and not a single one has been fixed. In the last 3 years.

Apple is in way over its head trying to build/maintain a web browser on mobile and desktop.

This in particular is a Safari bug, not WebKit, so not ideal to file there. If anyone files a case of this with sysdiagnose and screen recording and posts the FB# here, I will make sure it gets looked at.
