If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

Checked on Chrome and Firefox.

Describe the Bug

When clicking on an anchor <a> with a hash href, the user is taken to the page, but the hash portion culled.
The culprit is the Astro View Transiiton. When I exclude it for anchors with hashes, it works.

example:
<a href="/articles#news"> --> example.com/articles/

What's the expected result?

I expect the astro transition to work with the hash on the link.
<a href="/articles#news"> --> example.com/articles#news
