Description
Links are traversed even when someone clicks outside the default visual appearance.
- A-Frame Version: since 1.0.0
- Platform / Device: Tested on desktop Brave, Chrome, Firefox in Windows 10, 2D mode (also seems to happen in VR mode on desktop, but you need to click closer to the visual appearance).
- Reproducible Code Snippet or URL: https://expensive-moored-meadow.glitch.me/
Just click on the reticle immediately after loading. Nothing should happen, but it takes you through the link.
