Cursor woe in 6.0 alpha

Stéphane Rollandin
Hello,

Still in the latest downloadable 6.0 trunk image (17967), when clicking
in the welcome window the cursor becomes a blinking text one, but then
it keeps this shape even over the menu one gets via a right-click.

I also noticed when loading muO into that same image that the cursor
does not adapt over morphs embedded in text, which is not a proper
behaviour since these morphs can have their own requirement as per the
cursor shape.

Hi Stef,

the issue with the menu should be fixed in Morphic-mt.1428.

If you want to change the cursor shape for morphs embedded in text, those morphs should start expressing such intents, for example, via #mouseEnter:, which they usually do not. The encompassing text morph cannot know about such things.

Best,
Marcel
