1501742 - Section anchor links not clickable on Safari

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, enhancement, P2)

Description

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

What did you do?
================
1. Using Safari 12 (desktop), go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
2. Scroll down to Tutorials / Reference
3. Click chain link icon

What happened?
==============
The element is not clickable and not a link.

What should have happened?
==========================
In other browsers (tested Firefox and Chrome), this is a link to the anchor / id for this section, to make sharing section URLs easier.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
This may have been introduced with the fix for bug 1479817 in https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/pull/4954. When "pointer-events: none" is removed from the SVG icon, the element is clickable in Safari.

I don't see any chain icon right besides the header even after hovering over the header, neither in Firefox (v71) nor Chromium (v78). Am I missing something?

It appears anchor links were removed in a redesign, so this bug is no longer valid.

Without anchor I cannot get section link, I've to manually type the section title in URL (like this, url#Section-title) which is very annoying. So, is there any specific reason to remove anchor from redesign?
