The text cursor is not displayed when mousing over text in cells

With the fragmentSelection option set to true, I see the following style set on table cells tds:

    .handsontable table.htCore {
        // ...
        cursor: default;
        // ...
    }

Therefore, when you mouseover text in a cell to select it, the cursor isn’t changed from a pointer (the default) to a text cursor.

Is this expected functionality? Is there a setting that can change this?
If there is no setting, is it safe to override the default styles and change the value for cursor from default to auto?

Btw, it looks like older versions (3.0, etc) of HT didn’t set the cursor value to default.

Thanks!

Hi @tkthompson

It was an intentional change to match the behavior with other spreadsheet applications. As for the styling, we don’t recommend changing any styles in core Handsontable elements as it may result in various, unpredicted visual errors.
