The problem isn't visual indication and changing the mouse cursor thus wouldn't
help. The fields are already highlighted when hovering over them, which gives
the same visual clue changing the cursor would.

The problem is human accuracy, as demonstrated by Fitts's Law. Pointing accuracy
decreases as the distance to or size of the target increase. Typically, the
distance is pretty high, so users often over- or undershoot the target box, even
if by just a few pixels.


Decreasing the sensitive area totally makes sense - I've had requests for this
from multiple users and my personal experience is also that it was frustrating
to change settings directly in the tiles before since every and now and then you
ended up starting the session instead of changing a setting.


I'd generally advise to trigger sessions by clicking a pointer near the session
icon (or in any area horizontally or vertically from it).
