"Save" button in the posts editor not reliably usable since WordPress 6.7

[joergwiesner]

COmpared to WordPress 6.6 the Save button has changed look and feel but also lost accessibility.
In 6.7 and 6.7.1 there is only a very small area of the button upon which the mouse pointer changes to the way it shows when over a clickable element, so often you miss carrying out the save of your changes, bacause although you get the warning question "Do you want to leave the page/post?" you cannot really carry out the save.

Please reestablish that whole Save Button area is clickable.

Hi @joergwiesner and welcome to WordPress Trac!

I am also unable to reproduce this issue. The cursor changes for me when I hover over save draft, publish, and save.

I don't speak the language that is used in the interface, but I believe the screenshot is of the "save draft". In my test, the whole button changes background color, which I don't see in your screenshot.
It is almost as if something is above the button, preventing you from hovering over the correct element.

I am using Chrome Version 131.0.6778.86 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 11.
Perhaps it is an issue with a specific browser?

It would be helpful if you could:

• Test with all plugins disabled
• Test with a default theme active
• Share more detailed information about the environment

This might be related to GB67069 (as #62537 is).

If not, it should have its own issue in the Gutenberg repository.
