i was about to suggest that clicking on a single entry declutter only that

i like the way it works now, that you simply click anywhere on the row.
Granted, it's possibly not intuitive without some visual indicator to click
on ("..."), but it's visually elegant.

A short sidebar for those unfamiliar with this particular quirk of JS:

In JS the || operators evaluates to the first value of its left/right sides
which itself evaluates to true in a "boolean context". i.e.:
2 || 3
in almost every other language that evaluates to true, whereas in JS it
evaluates to 2. Likewise (0 || 7) evaluates to 7.
