Clickable portion of links is way too small

Here's a clear example:

I would expect clicking on the link icon (->) to take me to the link. It does nothing.
I would expect clicking on the character in the link to take me to the link. However:

• Clicking anywhere in the right half drops my insert cursor into the link.
• Only the left half of the icon clicks the link. The cursor does not change to indicate whether it will or won't go to the link. I just have to try and fail.
