iOS 26 UITargetedPreview not responding to touches

We have a UICollectionView whose cells have custom context menu highlight previews.

In the delegate method collectionView(_:contextMenuConfiguration:highlightPreviewForItemAt:), we build a UITargetedPreview whose custom view contains some action buttons.

Up until iOS 18, our setup has been working perfectly. But since iOS 26, the custom view is not responding to touches. When the user taps one of its buttons, the context menu gets dismissed as if the touch was outside of the custom view.

Is there any UICollectionView-related API change in version 26?

Thank you for your post. While I appreciate the description, I do not observe any issues assigned to the UICollectionView for iOS 26. However, I would recommend providing a focused sample project that demonstrates the issue.

If so, please share a link to your test project. That'll help us better understand what's going on. If you're not familiar with preparing a test project, take a look at Creating a test project.
