Discovered in the QA of T329493.
This is caused by the functionality of the buttons being implemented through an event listener on the form field. This for OOUI interfaces means that a box around the field is selected and responds to click events with the space to the right being noticeable. Instead the event listener should be attached to the button so that clicking elsewhere does not cause unintended side-effects, which may be especially noticeable if using a mobile device.
Steps to reproduce
- Log into an account with the sysop group
- Open Special:CheckUser and select the Get users check type
- Run a check on an IP or IP range
- Scroll to the bottom of the results to find the block form
- Click to the right of one of the Block selected IPs or Block selected accounts buttons
What happens
A Special:InvestigateBlock page is opened in a new tab
What should have happened
Nothing should have happened as the button was not clicked
