Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

Do you have a testcase or an URL where the problems is visible?

Unfortunatly I have no testcase, trying to provide a simple XHTML-Code to illustrate my problem, showed me that it works outside of OLAT.

I can not give you a link to our OLAT-Instance,since I doubt my boss will approve of it.
So I think the problem manifests with the anchor but is not caused by it.
Since OLAT inserts a lot of elements it will be a tedious  task to figure out which element-s/-combination  triggered it.

Following Code will yield the problem though.

CODE END

Anchor target and reference are interchangable, problem will still hold.

Ways to create Problem using OLAT(Version 7.x)
Create a new Course
Create HTML-File.
Open file with editor.
Click on HTML-View.
parse code into editor,sage and close, publish,exit editor, try out if anchor is working.
