Suggestion Wider padding for the popup reaction selection pane

[Efret Farr]

Hi Chaos!

I'm aware that this may not matter to many other folks, but I want to bring some attention to a feature of the forum that I've been struggling with in silence for some time.

I love reacting to others' posts, specifically picking from the array of options that appear when hovering over the 'Like' button. The problem for me is that point-and-click is not always my friend. I have some minor hand tremors which can make it really hard for me to keep my mouse pointer within the virtual lines of the reaction popup selection pane. If I'm having what I call a shaky day, I spend more time than I should trying to select the reaction I want because the menu disappears each time a tremor makes my mouse move off of it. On mobile, I choose the wrong reaction a lot for similar reasons. If anyone's gotten notifications for me changing my reaction type to the same post over a short span of time, one of these reasons is probably why.

Please could

1. the padding for the reaction popup selection pane be widened to allow for a little more mouse movement up and down off of the menu without causing it to disappear?
2. the spacing between the individual react emojis be made larger for ease of selection, especially for mobile users?

I (and others!) would appreciate it a lot. Thank you for reading

This is what I'm talking about, if it's not clear:

I second this and not because of hand tremors but because mobile and my fingers don't always gel when it comes to the react pane. I also press the wrong reaction by accident cause emojis too close to another.

I didn't want to suggest too much in one thread, but additional space between react types would also be very lovely and helpful for that reason!

I think you should edit this into OP!

Awesome suggestion. I have this pain too with accidently selecting the wrong react because if this issue.

I've honestly never had issues with it on mobile or desktop, but I also only like my own posts using my bot accounts.

I can make some tweaks, sure.
