Thanks for reporting @quirkiest,

I've not been able to reproduce this though.
I've tested using Gnome web and Safari 18.6, and all appears as expected.

Are you able to reproduce this on our demo site?: https://demo.bookstackapp.com/login
If not, Do you have any customizations active on your instance?

Thanks for testing too @MohammadAlhallaq.

Since there's been no further response from OP, and no additional confirmations/reports, I'll go ahead and close this off.
