I moved my scroll wheel a single tick and the content of the browser window completely changed with no movement to indicate scrolling was happening.
The change was so sudden and stark that I thought some sort of error had occurred and I was looking at a broken render of whatever I should be seeing.
Might be slightly better if the background didn't change color as soon as you move off the first "slide". Then it might not feel like you left the site or got dumped to an error page.
The thing sticking outside of the icon draws the eye to it, which means your focus is at the edge instead of the center, which makes for a more error prone experience.
Since the eyes are the cursor, this is a problem. Desktop and mobile don’t have this issue.

And Apple decided this was a problem with icons, rather than a problem with the way they implemented their vision tracking? Believable, and laughable.
It seems like the opposite of this. They tried to adapt the system to the way the eyes naturally work, rather than trying to tell people they needed to overcome their biology to use the system.
This is a false dichotomy. If the software assumes that people focus on the center of the thing they're looking at, the software is wrong. Fix the software.
Regardless, you don't need to make the hitboxes one-to-one with the graphics. Indeed, doing so tends to make for unreliable hitboxes, so most picking systems have two different, idealized enter and exit hitboxes for each icon.
I've seen exactly this behavior on claude.com with no system prompt with Opus 4.8 specifically, especially around chronic illness stuff where there's established mainstream medicine dogma and reddit / internet communities with alternate causality theories and treatment approaches (PMDD and MCAS-adjacent illness). 4.6 is happy to analyze and consider them, 4.8 really doesn't like the alternate theories and treatments.
