Trying to implement a delete functionality in Backbone.js by adding an "X" icon using Bootstrap's
<span class="delete-acceptance glyphicon glyphicon-remove btn-sm"></span>
icon. After applying CSS :hover, the intention is to display a pointer when hovering over the "X". However, there appears to be additional space surrounding the icon, causing the pointer to appear even outside the icon's boundaries.
Referencing the green area shown around the "X" in this image:
Why does this extra space exist and how can it be removed? Appreciate any insights on this issue. Thank you!
