Sadly, the bug does not reproduce if you view the attachment #9151137 [details]. I don't actually know why that is? Why would the same markup produce a different result on a different origin. Or are we considering more than the <form> itself?

AFAIK, I can't provide a useful URL for this bug, as it requires invitation from a Slack workspace member or owner. But you may be able to send yourself an invite to a different address to reproduce the issue if you are member of a slack that allows this.

I went through the STRs with one of my Slack channels and wasn't able to reproduce. Maybe an A/B test from Slack? I'm going to put a QA verify on this one. Unless you disagree :sfoster, I think we can close it if it works for them.

Works for me too on the latest Nightly 79.0a1 on Windows 10. I believe this is safe to close for now, we can re-open it in the future if it happens again.
