Accidental "trash". Anyone else?

Several times recently I have clicked on a post to read it and post appears with trash
highlighted. Don't think I brushed it and it never happened until recently. Of course, the highlighting disappears with a tap.

The trash is mainly when it’s a short lede. Or I’ll hit the person’s name. At least when I’m not using a stylus pen.

Happens with fat fingers on small screens.

Relaying from a friend (looks in mirror)

Unless I'm missing something....

Found it. Maybe that's the culprit.
