A terrible pattern that has crept up in web, desktop, and mobile apps these days is when you click or tap on text that should be interactive/editable, and some other thing pops up instead.

  • Arc browser does it with their URL bar.

  • Tailwind gives me one more reason to dislike them with their search

  • Google does it with their mobile search

It's bad because you're looking at text and intending to do something and then some other thing jumps out of nowhere, causing a distraction.
