Hard to click on a web link in VSCode: zone is too small

[VashJuan]

Issue Type: Bug

Enter a routine "https://blah.com" link in the code, or terminal window. Then try to Ctrl-Click on it. Even with a large 4K screen and a mouse, the area to click on is only ~5-10px high: really hard to find.

Hovering over the actual text won't work (surprisingly), one has to go just underneith, pretty much on the underline (text-decoration) only.

I'm trying to come up with a nice example: it is not pervasive!

Please check whether the issue also occurs after you run the command to reload with all extensions disabled.

Sorry for the false alarm. I'll reopen if I can resolve it. (I had seen it a bunch, but maybe the March update resolved it?!)
