Gap between radios and labels gets me every time

[robinwhittleton]

Can we expand the hit area of radio buttons in PR approval panels so that there’s no gap between the radio and the label?

The number of times I’ve clicked here and had to click again is getting pretty annoying. If you need to justify this from an accessibility point of view then WCAG 2.1 criterion 2.5.5 stipulates a 44×44 minimum hit area.

Hello @robinwhittleton - thank you for taking the time to file this issue. While it is true that WCAG 2.1 criterion 2.5.5 stipulates a 44×44 minimum hit area this is a AAA requirement, which is outside the scope of our current focus. This doesn’t imply that we’re not considering it in the future, but for now, it is not on our development roadmap. We will file this with our Accessibility team so that it can be reviewed and will follow-up here with any additional questions or updates. Thanks again!

Ok! It was mostly the gap that annoyed me from an interaction point of view, but feel free to close.

Let's leave this community issue open for now and we can go ahead and create an internal issue to have it reviewed. We really do appreciate the feedback!
