The text selection highlight for dates in The Overflow blog is sometimes not entirely inline with the date. Selecting the date adds a small highlight to the left that's offset.

I noticed this because I often select the date to read it better. It happens on the main page and on the detailed articles but not with the dates of the "Most popular" or the "The Stack Overflow Podcast" sections.

I don't think that constitutes a .
Furthermore, it's not actually the date, it's a whitespace between the tag and topic divs that gets selected as well:

That whitespace could simply be removed, and the problem would be gone.

  • Maybe I should tag the question as feature-request instead of bug? I don't know but it isn't pleasing visually and the div should somehow not be selectable or be removed. I am inclined to accept your answer since it pinpoints the cause of the issue... Commented Jan 5, 2022 at 17:17
  • I think that would be more appropriate, but since it hasn't been brought up yet I'm not sure if it matters a lot (e.g. this question is also tagged with bug). I do agree it doesn't look right, and it seems like a small fix to make. Commented Jan 5, 2022 at 17:23
