Description

Description:
The link primitive has an invisible sphere to show the link contents when the user is close, however clicks on this sphere are triggering link traversal. Even if the user clicks outside the link it will cause the link to be traversed.

Click outside the link in the code snippet. Nothing should happen, but the link will trigger.
