Saved tasks table: miss-click near the task link navigates to the Actor instead of the task #2810

Description

@myagizmaktav

Summary

In the Saved tasks table (https://console.apify.com/actors/tasks), the only reliable way to open a task is the small <a href> link on the task name. The rest of the row — including the whitespace immediately around that link — is wrapped in a click target that navigates to the Actor (the Actor dashboard) instead of the task.

So a slightly-off click ("miss-click") next to the task-name link does not just do nothing: it silently takes you somewhere completely different, and you then have to navigate all the way back to the tasks list.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://console.apify.com/actors/tasks.
  2. In the task-name cell of any row, click a few pixels beside the task-name link (still inside the same cell / row area).
  3. You land on the Actor page, not the task.

Expected

Clicking the task-name cell and its surrounding area should open that task. The row's click target should match what the user is pointing at — the task the row represents.

Actual

The row wrapper's click target wins and navigates to the Actor, so a near-miss on a small link produces an unrelated navigation.

Suggested fix

  • Make the task-name cell (and ideally the whole row) a single click target that resolves to the task detail page.
  • Give the link a larger hit area (padding / full-cell anchor) instead of a text-sized one.
  • If navigating to the Actor should stay available from this table, put it behind an explicit, distinct control (the Actor column, or the row's menu) rather than the row background.

Notes

This is a request about the Apify Console UI. Filing here as the closest public repo — please route to the Console team if there's a more appropriate place. Thanks!
