Is anybody having problems with Item Chooser on IOS 18.1.1? Recently,I tried to use it to quickly navigate to a specific link on a busy website. I could find the link in the Item Chooser but when I double tapped it to go there, the Item Chooser closed and I was placed at the beginning of the website. When I tried it on another website, it first opened with the items from the previous site, and only showed the items on the current page when I closed and reopened it. It then worked the first time I used it, and then stopped working correctly.
I am running IOS 18.1.1 on an iPhone 15 Pro.
Is this something with my settings or a bug. Interested in any comments.

The item chooser works sometimes, and other times not. For me, it seems to work fine on links and headings butg not form fields. It closes and I'm also returned to the top of the page.

So I looked at the iPhone 18 user guide and read through and cut and pasted everything about Voiceover to a document.
Then I searched that document for the item chooser, and the only reference I found was how to access it with a magic keyboard, VO-I or Braille display.
There is no section in the user guide on actually using it.
