Media Grid: Edit icon 'link' does not behave as expected

[Ipstenu]

From ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-grid-issues

In hovering over the pencil icon it does two bad things:
1) flutters uncontrollably and
2) when you manage to click it, it doesn't go to the edit screen.

You can see both these behaviors in this screencast.

I can reproduce this issue. The expected behavior would be no flicker (mine stops FWIW on Chrome) and immediate edit, instead of select. This is possibly related to changes made for the select box?

I believe I observed the issue before the checkboxes were added.

I've just reproduced this as well.

2) when you manage to click it, it doesn't go to the edit screen.

See #28952.

This is fixed in my patch on #28965

I think we should just get rid of the icon. It's non-destructive to click on an item, and a user's action might just be to look at a preview, not necessarily edit.

In 29288:

Media Grid: remove pencil icon from attachment hover and a bunch of unused CSS.

Fixes #28945.
