Fragment directives prevent revision expansion.

What The Problem Is

linux.codidact.com/posts/294865/history#3 renders the relevant revision, expanded. by contrast, when a fragment directive is appended, like linux.codidact.com/posts/294865/history#3:~:, it does not:

This is problematic when the user wants to link to a text fragment.

How To Reproduce It

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
window.location.href = 'https://linux.codidact.com/posts/294865/history#3:~:text=it.%20They%20must%2C-,instead%2C%20merely%20wait,-for%20it%20to';

Select the //*[@id="toolbox-tab-webconsole"].
Expand the relevant div.message:nth-child.

Expected Behaviour

The relevant details.history-event should open.

Enable dom.text_fragments.enabled: true, because some third-party text fragment WebExtension implementations don't override the error produced by the client-side ECMAScript to forcefully open the details.
