Plasma Components - TextField cursor

SUMMARY

The hitbox area for the "text" cursor of the TextField component in Plasma is weird. There is a thin 1px line where the cursor becomes a "text" one, but even that is not really consistent.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open some applet with a search field, e.g. Networks, Clipboard or Printers.
2. Hover over the search field, move cursor around.

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor stays a normal pointer most of the time. Sometimes when on the edge of the text field it changes to "text" cursor.

EXPECTED RESULT
As in normal text fields.

Even a blank ActionTextField {} exhibits the issue. It's something in there, because the standard TextField is okay.

It's not about the TextField. It is a more general bug how system tray popup dialogs handle mouse hovering. If you place an applet on its own on a desktop, everything will be fine with its TextField.

Indeed, can confirm. How strange.
