Provide sufficiently large and spaced click targets

Interactive elements must provide a sufficiently large click target (at least 24 × 24 pixels) or sufficient spacing around them.

When the click target of an interactive element is smaller than 24 × 24 pixels, it is considered undersized. In this case, it is necessary to check whether there is sufficient spacing by drawing an imaginary 24-pixel circle around the undersized element.
