Double tapping the share button in Safari causes it to freeze

Does anyone else have the problem where double tapping the share button in Safari causes it to freeze?
Sometimes, trying to activate the share button doesn’t do anything at all.
This is particularly annoying as I like to read PDF documents on my iPad, before iOS 11 the device would ask me which app I would like to open the document in, but now I have to click the share button and then copy to iBooks.

As the subject line says, that's never happened to me before. There shouldn't be too much of a difference between an iPad and an iPHone. I use an iPhone. What happens when you turn VoiceOver off then back on when Safari freezes. That sometimes fixes freezing problems. Or do you mean where the entire device freezes and you have to reboot it?

Yeah, it seems to happen quite regularly to me though I only started noticing it in iOS 11.

It’s happened with me too.
