Only the text and the radio button of closing reasons are clickable. However, a full-width clickable area would be easier to hit and less frustrating. IIRC, this was also possible in the past.

    I agree this would be an improvement, but feel compelled to mock your ability to use a mouse. It's ok people, I can say that, I have the misfortune of knowing him

    @thecoshman I suck at precise clicking (I’m horrible at first-person shooters). This is definitely an issue for me. Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 14:23

    Why not include the area around the radio as well? That is probably the most common area to click, so that would help too Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 14:26
  • sometimes I'm so frustrated because I click right near the radio button instead of right ON the radio button. >.< Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 14:29
  • At the same time, the links in the close reasons should be made inactive. It's rather annoying to hit them when you want to select a reason. Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 14:35

    Please do this on all dialogs, including the ones we see in the moderator queue. It would make it a lot easier to use a touch-screen device.

    Like @LightnessRacesinOrbit, I've never had a problem with this, but I'll gladly upvote it for you and your fellow mouseically challenged SE users.

  • Seven hours and nobody has complained about the lack of free-hand circles. What's wrong today?

  • @rightfold: I just assumed you'd drawn them in white because well, like thecoshman I know you. Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 22:13
  • I've nearly always accidentally click on the area between the title and the description (which is not clickable).

This seems to have been implemented and it's currently live. Not sure when it was enacted, though (it's not in Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange as far as I can tell), so maybe a team member can include it in its proper spot there?

    I don't think it's major enough to be worth including there, it's just a minor design change. (Useful, but still minor.) Commented May 24, 2016 at 11:59
