I think I (finally) found the culprit. When the entire text in the address bar is selected (which happens programatically when giving focus to the address bar), the TextField widget displays selection handles to allow the user to resize the selection. The mouse areas to interact with them are wider than the actual handles, and the left one overlaps with the action button. I’m attaching a screenshot that demonstrates this visually (I added a semi-transparent green rectangle that outlines the mouse areas for the handles).

Now they all pass but one: webbrowser_app.tests.test_addressbar_states.TestAddressBarStates.test_looses_focus_when_reloading I’m attaching the test result output as well as a video capture of what happens when the test is run. It appears that clicking the reload button in the address bar doesn’t activate the reload action, but instead shows the contextual menu as if the click had gone through to the TextField below.
