What happens?:

  • In each change line, after time you'll see small x. But you can't click it separately, because Minerva makes the entire row clickable, overriding anything else.

What should have happened instead?:

  • Either it's clickable on its own or not shown.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

HFan-WMF lowered the priority of this task from High to Medium.

I can't replicate this @Ammarpad - how can I?

It also might make sense to start moving these rules into MediaWiki core in some form since Reader Experience Team are not focused on the watchlist page but do maintain Minerva (I believe it is Moderator-Tools-Team but might be mistaken)

I have added screenshots. In regular watchlist line, the indicated unwatch link in the no-AMC mode can't be clicked because of this rule: skinStyles/mediawiki.special.changeslist.less#228.

They maybe clickable if the entry is a log or a first revision of the page however, since those do not have mw-changeslist-diff CSS class (but see below)

On why it should be hidden, it's is the same reason why the tag markers, thanks links and a host of ther links were also hidden; because if they were shown, they can't be clicked because of the same rule. (Note they're hidden in all kind of entries also, even though they'd work for first revision and log entries, that's why the unwatch marker should be hidden in the same way).
