Editor: hit area of a text field should be larger

Anki Help

Talking about the clickable area of a field in card/note editor. I will attach a video to better explain my issue:

Here is another recording from Librewolf for comparison purposes:

Is this something that is intended?

Clicking in the input field in Librewolf is much easier than it is in the editor in Anki.

Is the problem the way the cursor turns into a pointing finger (rather than the text-editing cursor) when you’re near the border of the box?

I just tried this on MacOS and Linux (Debian Trixie), and it isn’t happening on either for me. The active box is outlined in blue, but the cursor never turns into a hand with a finger, just the text-editing cursor.

What operating system are you using?

Also, if you’re on Linux, are you using Wayland or X11, and what desktop environment or window manager?

No, that’s not an issue. Issue is the “clickable” region being smaller than it would be useful for editing with a mouse.

Thanks for trying to help me pandafrog :folded_hands:

If I click anywhere other than the blue area, none of the fields will be selected. This is likely due to the indentation. But I always click in the center, so I don’t notice the problem.

I think the image you posted is a bit misleading but I see your point :sweat_smile:
