Description

When conducting usability testing (#26945 (closed)), users tried to trigger the top level filter menu, in the issue filter, by clicking on the filter icon. [Clip 1] (https://youtu.be/cF0CS-rcpZU?t=5m19s), [Clip 2] (https://youtu.be/UF_zfCYgukw?t=9m), [Clip 3] (https://youtu.be/8c-hFMPLikE?t=5m59s), [Clip 4] (https://youtu.be/8c-hFMPLikE?t=7m26s).

How can we improve this experience for users?

Solution

Currently the click event is being received by the filter icon. The text field should be the one receiving the event, which means that clicking on the icon will move the text cursor to the beginning of the field.
