UseQuestLogSpecialItem vs. the world

Dear Blizzard,

Your new objective tracker is the most delicate of flowers in a winter storm. Even looking sideways at seemingly unrelated things, like the world map, poisons it, rendering its quest item buttons unusable. It's even worse than the infamous and still-overly-sensitive-after-all-these-years UIDropDownMenu system.

You could solve the quest button problem very easily by making the UseQuestLogSpecialItem only require a hardware event, rather than it being a completely protected function. I understand you don't want addons automatically using quest items without the player making decisions, but I really don't see any serious potential for abuse if it requires a click/keypress. It's a quest that probably takes 5 minutes and zero thought beyond looking for the dot on the map -- side note: WTB epic quest chains back from vanilla! -- not raid progression or tournament PvP.
