[Spec] Internal links only work once per page load

What happens:
I added a link on a piece of text pointing to a heading in the same Spec. The first click scrolls to the heading correctly. After that, clicking the link does nothing. It only works again after reloading the page, and then only once.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In a Spec, select some text and add a link to a heading in the same document
  2. Click the link: it scrolls to the heading (works)
  3. Go back to the link and click it again: nothing happens
  4. Reload the page and click the link: it works again, but only once

Expected behavior:
The link should navigate to the heading every time it’s clicked.

Why it matters:
I use internal links to connect flow steps to business rules in long documents (e.g., use cases). Readers click the same links many times while reading, so this is the main way to navigate the document.

Environment:

  • Figma Desktop app, version 126.11.8
  • Windows 11 Pro
