Touch target inaccuracy on top action bar (Android)
Bug Description
There are touch-sensitivity and hit-test accuracy issues specifically when using the app on a tablet:
- Tapping icons on the top navigation bar (e.g., table of contents, search, options) consistently fails, even when tapping directly in the center of the icon.
- When attempting to select text near a hyperlink, the link click handler overrides text selection, instantly opening the link instead of expanding the selection handle.
Note: This issue appears to be display/layout-specific. The exact same version of the app works fine without touch issues on my smartphone Android 16 screen 2400x1080.

Steps to Reproduce
- On a tablet device, tap any top menu bar icon (table of contents, settings, search). The action consistently fails to trigger.
- Try selecting a word immediately adjacent to an inline hyperlink. The app triggers the link navigation instead of expanding the selection handle.
Expected Behavior
Top bar buttons should have larger, properly scaled touch targets (hitboxes) on high-resolution tablet screens. Text selection touch gestures should take precedence over link click triggers when long-pressing or dragging selection handles.
