Swiping 'back' in Safari on iOS disables interactivity

Even on a freshly installed Rails 7.0.3.1 with a generated User scaffold, swiping ‘back’ once (doesn’t matter on which page) renders anything with a turbo-method useless. The only code that I changed is the Destroy button. However, I have first spotted this behavior in one of my more complex apps.

Expected behavior: “Destroy this user” should still work even after Steps to reproduce:

1. In a default Rails setup with a User scaffold update the destroy button’s code with a turbo_method.
2. Open website in Safari on iOS. Add a user. Destroy works at this point. Click ‘Back to users’. Swipe ‘back’ and destroy no longer works.
3. Only thing that restores interactivity is a refresh.
4. In Firefox on iOS this issue is (strangely enough) not present. However, on Firefox Focus on iOS turbo does not seem to work at all.

<%= button_to "Destroy this user", @user, method: :delete, form: { data: { turbo_method: :delete, turbo_confirm: 'Are you sure?' } } %>

I believe my issue might be related to #302, though I’m not sure.

Feels well worth turning this into a feature of Turbo. Even if it’s a specific path to work around an iOS bug. Gotta deal with reality as it is.

@domchristie If this issue is still present 5 years later, perhaps we should assume there’s no fix coming 😄. Maybe we can bake something like this straight into Turbo?
