I tried and I can’t reproduce. See https://publish.obsidian.md/whitenoise/Formatting/Links.

You didn’t provide the website address, but it looks like you are some custom css/perhaps javascript on your website. You will have to try to remove all of that and see if it happens.

For some reason you are running an old version of Obsidian. We are at 1.8.10. I don’t think it has anything to do with this issue but we don’t support old versions.

I’ve tested without javascript and removed all custom css in the website. Same result.

I’ve tested further and it turns out it is not specific to the table of contents, but instead related to the site components that removes the left and right sidebar.

To reproduce

In site options, toggling off All Sidebar Related Components specifically (1) Show navigation, (2) Show graph view, and (3) Show table of contents, prevents jumping to internal links in the same page. Enabling any of these to show any sidebar fixes the problem.

Here’s my current site options

I’ve also just updated both obsidian and installer to latest version.
