I do see your problem, but to be honest: The real problem here is the handles for the popup notes being too small, not the cursor being too big. We don't want users to have to aim precisely at something only a few pixels in size, no matter with which cursor The cursor shape is not relevant for the actual precision. However it gives a feeling of an exact position, in particular the crosshairs for the selection. But the shape is much more relevant to illustrate the underlying function. The hand shaped cursor shows the grab functionality (BTW: how the cursor looks depends on the cursor theme) and changes to grabbing with left mouse button pressed. The arrow is the default pointer and well suited to the zoom mode. If we would change the browse mode cursor it rather adds confusion since the arrow is used unspecifically. Ok. Makes sense to keep the hand. |
