yep. then i realized it’s not just google search results. that’s just most obvious case.if i click very carefully it works first click.

so my working theory is that drag sensitivity has increased. so a sloppy 1 pixel click-drag used to be a click but now it’s an imperceptible drag. i haven’t got up the motivation yet to audit a mouse event log.

nope. as another commenter said, it's happens 100% when clicking within a few pixels of the underline. i'll respond to that comment with more detail.
