I thought this was particularly surprising because the width of the click area doesn’t even match how far the text stretches to the right. Instead, it’s a function of whether the text consumes more than one line. So ‘Grantmaking process’ has a wider click area than ‘Get email updates’, despite the latter being wider, because it stretches over two lines.
Another inconsistency with the menus is that the click area doesn’t coincide with the hover area. For example, to click on ‘Longtermism’, the mouse pointer has to be above the text, but one can expand the menu that lists the three longtermist sub-areas even by hovering over the whitespace to the right of ‘Longtermism’.
