Should not this be mentioned, for example in > > (info "(elisp) Pointer Shape") > (info "(elisp) Special Properties") It seems the change was made immediately in response to the following comment in a discussion about implementing mouse-face in header and mode lines: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-05/msg01268.html >/ I've implemented mouse-face on mode-line./ > This looks nice! But shouldn't the cursor change to a hand cursor rather than an arrow cursor when hoovering over a mouse-face? I think the change was a mistake, instead we should have arranged the relevant areas to have both mouse-face and pointer text properties. But I don't know how much effort it will be now to go back and change this.
