System Information
Operating system: Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 760/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 418.91

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.91.0, branch: master, commit date: 2020-11-25 08:34, hash: 0f45cab862
Worked: 2.90.1 release

Short description of error
When using Save As '+' button for the next file name, often times the '-' button is clicked instead. The influence of the '-' button is too wide that it extends to the '+' button

- is yellow, + is red. Note that the - hitbox even covers the first 1-2 pixels of the + icon.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Files -> Save As
Hover over the '+' Button in the right of filename field, slowly move the mouse to the left. Sooner than expected, you will find yourself hovering over the '-' sign instead.

This unfortunately makes users lose older version of the file as it re-writes on them by the easy mis-click on the '-' button.

Please see attached video for further proof.

The area in which the button becomes active does indeed not seem to be centered around the icon nor symmetrical. I will confirm this for now, but it might be that the UI team would triage this differently.

Not high priority issue in my opinion. There is mouse hover feedback now, so you can see which icon is in focus. And after clicking it, the entire text box is red if you risk overriding data. And we are only talking about la 1-2 pixels problem.
Also note that "The User's data is sacred." is not an existing UI paradigm. If it were, the UI would have to be much more paranoid to prevent possible user mistakes - to the point of being very annoying. Of course there are typical mistakes that we can and should prevent.
