What happens if you add either preventDefault() or stopPropagation to the onClick handlers for your icon buttons? — Tor Raswill, Nov 17 '21 at 09:49

The easiest way is to use event.stopPropagation inside the Icons functions. So something like:

function onEdit(event) => {
  event.stopPropagation();
  ...

But this means you won't be able to to catch the click anywhere else (for example you might have an open selector you might want to close when the page is clicked or something similar). Another pretty easy solution (and the option I would personally recommend) would be replacing e.stopPropagation() with e.preventDefault() + e.defaultPrevented

So basically you should add inside icons functions:

function onEdit(event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  ...

and default onClick should have the condition. Something like:

function onClick(event) => {
  if(event.defaultPrevented) return
}
