XOJO 2021r2.1 - Windows 10 Desktop  
The cursor behaviour in the IDE is still not correct.  
It does not change correctly and/or fast enough from ‘insert’ to ‘arrow’ when moving from Editor Area to the area between the Editor Area and the Navigator.  
This is very annoying.  
Will this be solved in a newer release ?

Regards  
Etienne

I just opened this Feedback Case, not sure if that’s what you’re talking about:

**65591 - Cursor icon is incorrect when over the code editor if there is no code in the editor currently**

Just added a bit too to this.

When there are different indent levels in the code editor, the cursor does not change from I-beam to pointer when moving from code to the indent signs -/+
