Research direction
Investigate the presentation of the share sheet when triggered from a context menu on iPad. Look at the History view controller's context menu implementation. Check if the share sheet is presented using a popover or modal; on iPad, popover presentation requires proper anchoring to the source view. The issue may be due to incorrect sourceRect or sourceView. Also, test on iOS 16 vs 23+ to see if there are API changes. Files to examine: likely in 'Client/Application/...' or 'History' related directory.
