The div is too big! Random 3 pixel padding makes selecting multiple mail items a drag.
On the left side of each article of mail, there is a checkbox. A user would like to go through the list and check off a lot of checkboxes. This is possible to do. However, there is a bug in the size of the section that holds a checkbox. The checkbox is height 68 pixels. The div that holds the item is 71 pixels. This means that there is a small 3 pixel gap between each mail item. When we go through the mailbox ticking off mail checkboxes, and accidentally arrive at one of these 3 pixel gaps, your evil development crew has seen fit to unselect all the checkboxes.
Your evil developer put 3 padding at the top of every div that has this: data-test-id="icon-btn-checkbox-container" and made it so that clicking on this little gap that is within 10 pixels of the checkbox DESELECTS ALL THE CHECKBOXES. WTF.

Apparently other users have complained about this issue but provided less detail.

https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/600772-new-mail/suggestions/19989769-selection-box-way-too-small-trying-select-multiI'm fairly sure that all these users are complaining about the same thing. There's a random 3 pixel padding that is close to the checkbox, and inadvertent clicking of this area actually interacts with something that is not the checkbox.
