SwiftUI: Button in Form - button

Question

I am creating a Form in SwiftUi with a section that is including a flexible number of instruction.
Next to the last instruction TextField, I am showing a "+"-Button that is extending the instructions array with a new member:
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Form {
...
Section(header: Text("Instructions")) {
InstructionsSectionView(instructions: $recipeViewModel.recipe.instructions)
}
...
struct InstructionsSectionView: View {
#Binding var instructions: [String]
var body: some View {
ForEach(instructions.indices, id: \.self) { index in
HStack {
TextField("Instruction", text: $instructions[index])
if(index == instructions.count-1) {
addInstructionButton
}
}
}
}
var addInstructionButton: some View {
Button(action: {
instructions.append("")
}) {
Image(systemName: "plus.circle.fill")
}
}
}
Now the problem is, that the button click-area is not limited to the picture but to the whole last row. Precisely the part just around the textField, meaning if I click in it, I can edit the text, but if I click on the border somewhere, a new entry is added.
I assume that this is specific to Form {} (or also List{}), since it does not happen if I use a Button next to a text field in a "normal" set-up.
Is there something wrong with my code? Is this an expected behaviour?

I am not sure why border is getting tappable, but as a workaround I used plainButtonStyle and that seems to fix this issue, and keeps functionality intact .
struct TestView: View {
#State private var endAmount: CGFloat = 0
#State private var recipeViewModel = ["abc","Deef"]
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Form {
Section(header: Text("Instructions")) {
InstructionsSectionView(instructions: $recipeViewModel)
}
}
}
}
}
struct InstructionsSectionView: View {
#Binding var instructions: [String]
var body: some View {
ForEach(instructions.indices, id: \.self) { index in
HStack {
TextField("Instruction", text: $instructions[index])
Spacer()
if(index == instructions.count-1) {
addInstructionButton
.buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
.foregroundColor(.blue)
}
}
}
}
var addInstructionButton: some View {
Button(action: {
instructions.append("")
}) {
Image(systemName: "plus.circle.fill")
}
}
}
