Emacs is inconsistent when clicking buttons with the mouse (alien.top)

For some reason, when I click a button, be it in the customize buffer or hyperlinks in org documents, it sometimes works, and other times the whole buffer shifts to the left like a single pixel and it sets a mark (it says so in the minibuffer). The button is not clicked in those instances.

Has someone experienced something similar? Is there a way to improve this?

Do you see the same problem if you start Emacs using emacs -Q (no init file)? If not, bisect your init file to find the culprit.

Nope! And when I tried with my config the very first click had that issue. It's very weird tho, I have no idea what could be causing it...

Bisect your init file. You can use command comment-region comment out 1/2 of it, then 3/4, then 7/8,... till you can see easily what's causing the problem. This is a binary search, so it narrows things down quickly.

Ok, I just did. It's (global-display-line-numbers-mode). Now.... why???? It's odd as hell.
