Icon on solid background.
Want to click on icon.
Start to move mouse toward icon.
Get almost all of the way there, and a square lights up around icon.
Something changed. It knows what element I want to interact with.
Click.
Nothing happens because I'm not actually pointing at the icon yet.
There are people in this world who need to be physically removed from what they're doing and pushed down into a chair, and have their job re-explained to them from scratch in a hushed, angry tone by someone looming over them with that "this is seriously your last chance before your life permanently worsens" look in their eyes. Whoever came up with that is one of them.
Haha β I know how this happens and itβs usually the fault of the developer putting the onClick handler on the button contents, not the button itself. But the button has all the UI stuff like hover effects and the cursor change.
Just gotta aim for the center

What's worse is all that effects kind of obscures the mouse cursor transitioning shape to indicate a clickable element.
