Steps to reproduce: 1.Open a page with VE that has link inside it. 2.Tap on any link Observed Result: The browser page gets redirected to the link target page Test Environment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ Device: iPad Mini
This bug happens on any iOS Safari probably. The link doesn't seem to go to the destination in some cases (in my dev instance it goes to 127.0.0.1 even though I loaded the page from an external IP). More importantly, this seems to be happening only when the keyboard is hidden (contenteditable is not focused). See attached video. I tested it on iOS 7.1.1. It doesn't happen on Chrome for Android.

Jon has never worked on this bug.
Pushing to Ed because it appears to be a shield/highlight issue.

Links don't have any custom highlights (and shields no longer exist) so this must just be a CE bug in iOS (should be filed upstream if possible). We don't even have event listeners on links at the moment but we might have to add some as a work around
