Since Sonoma, safari, when clicking a button the tab now goes back to first item on the webpage but it should stay at the place in the webpage where the button was pressed, respectively moves to the next item.
Is there a way to change this setting, as it is bad for my workflow.
Buttons on webpages can be HTML coded, or in javascript as a direct frontend.
E.g. if I keyboard tab to a "reply"-button on this webpage - here "reply" is a button that is html implemented - this would not trigger this behaviour. After pressing (enter) the button, the next keyboard tab would move to the next item on the webpage.
However when I keyboard press (enter) a javascript frontend button, and then press tab again, I do not select the next item on the webpage, but the first item on the top of the webpage instead.
Since the webpage is work-related I cannot share it, but this is a definitive change in safari since Sonoma, which made me switch to Chrome, which however is not my preferred browser for these tasks.

Can't say I ever noticed one way or another.

What exactly do you mean by “clicking a button”? Please elaborate. Perhaps a screenshot would clarify.
As far as I can tell there was no change in behavior.
Safari Change since MacOS sonoma in regards to tab-navigating a webpage.
