Cross-linking another recent report here:

> Is it just me or is it extremely easy to accidentally “like” a post while scrolling on meta? The position of the heart is horizontally aligned right where I swipe and it seems even a light interaction with the icon creates a like. I do not have the same issue on my forum despite the position being the same. I’m currently using the Android PWA app.

And also an older one:

> About why it is super easy to accidentally press heart with this plugin: in a forum with this plugin, when scrolling, if the starting place of scrolling is on the heart button, the heart button is triggered; on the other hand, in a forum without this plugin, scrolling like this will not trigger heart. A lot of users on our forum is complaining about this issue, and I hope it can be fixed!
