When the Relevance (Special) column is shown in the entry table and the relevance of an entry is false, hovering over the entry makes a star appear in that column, regardless of the actual value. This makes it hard to identify and select the intended value, because relevance always appears true for the entry under the cursor. For instance, clicking with the intention of removing the star when relevance is already false will set it to true (opposite of the intended result).

The relevance status should be discernable regardless of hovering state.

Possible solutions

• Show relevance star only when relevance = true
• Use a different indicator on hover when relevance = false
