Angular Material 2 Table Mat Row Click event, also triggered by a button click in Mat Cell

Question

I am new to material 2, and I implemented a mat table in which I have a row click event to open a dialog box, and there is also a menu button in the last column “Action”, but when I click on the button, a dialog box also opens instead of opening menu.

Table

    <mat-table #table [dataSource]="dataSource" matSort  (matSortChange)="sortData($event)">
    <ng-container matColumnDef="id">
          <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef > No. </mat-header-cell>
          <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> 
              <mat-checkbox checked='true'></mat-checkbox>
          </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="unit_num">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef  mat-sort-header="unit_num"> Unit No. </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.unit_num}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="unit_type">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef mat-sort-header="unit_type"> Unit Type </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.unit_type}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="shares">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef mat-sort-header="shares"> Shares </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.shares}} </mat-cell>
      </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="sections">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Section </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.sections.section_type}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="buildings">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef >Building </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.buildings.buildingname}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="_id">
        <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Action </mat-header-cell>
        <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> 
          <button mat-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu"><mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
          </button>
            <mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
              <button mat-menu-item (click)="edit(element._id)">Edit</button>
              <button mat-menu-item (click)="gotoFamily(element)">Go to current family</button>
              <button mat-menu-item (click)="createNewFam(element)">Create new family</button>
              <button mat-menu-item (click)="openDeleteDialog(element._id)">Delete</button>              
            </mat-menu>
        </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
    <mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></mat-header-row>
    <mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns; let index=index;" mat-ripple style="position:relative;" (click)="edit(row._id,$event)"></mat-row>
    </mat-table>
  <mat-paginator [length]="count"
    [pageSize]="pageSize"
    [pageSizeOptions]="pageSizeOptions"
    (page)="pageSide($event)">
  </mat-paginator>

In fact, only the menu should open

$ event.stopPropagation Chrome, Firefox 63.0.3 (64- ). . stopPropagation, mat-row.

<mat-cell *matCellDef="let element" (click)="$event.stopPropagation()">
  <button mat-icon-button type="button">
     <mat-icon *ngIf="element.state !== 2" color="primary" aria-label="Genehmigen"     (click)="approve(element.receipt_id, 2)">check_circle</mat-icon>
     <mat-icon *ngIf="element.state === 2" color="primary" aria-label="Rückgängig" (click)="approve(element.receipt_id, 0)">undo</mat-icon>
  </button>
</mat-cell>

- Firefox?
