Can we get a few more pixels for clicking the cursor at the beginning of a line?

Hello! I'm routinely frustrated when trying to click on the beginning of a line of text to place the cursor or start a selection - I aim for it but it is very narrow (first half of the first character) and I miss and either hit the code-folding vertical or I get text-column two instead. Can that be made a little wider please?  Thanks! *Addition by @hediet*: See #127025 for how the cursor is misleading.
