GNOME Web is officially recommended by Apple for testing WebKit on Linux. The devtools even look identical to those on Safari.

Hmm, so I'm assuming from this post that this same Safari CSS bug is present in GNOME Web too?

'Cause if it isn't then it's not really a good proxy for testing Safari behavior in this context...

WebKit is the engine safari uses so anything that uses WebKit should in theory provide the exact same rendering experience.

Safari itself is not open source so it's unclear how much/little they have modified WebKit and the JavaScript engine. Given that this bug involves JS (events not firing), and MacOS doing its own thing with JS, it's entirely possible that this is a Safari only bug that resides in the proprietary parts of the codebase...
