I swear the cursor used to change to a pointer when hovering over dropdown elements, but now it doesn’t. I think I noticed the change with that recent big release. I’ve even tried setting it manually, but it doesn’t work. Is this a bug? See loom. Thanks!

Double check to see if your select has “searchable” turned off.

If it is on, I think this is by design—so that it appropriately defaults to text considering clicking into the select triggers type to filter the select dropdown. See screenshots below for the same select with “searchable” a) on and b) off

That was it thanks @archenia_jsanchez! But clearly something changed in WeWeb as I hadn’t changed this setting on any of my dropdowns. Anyway, working now. Thanks again!

I can’t say for certain, but I know there was a release in September that made some changes to the cursor functionality on what I thought was other inputs, not the select, but its the only thing that comes to mind.

> ## INPUTS (simple, advanced, masked)
> 
> In these three elements, if you defined a `cursor`, it was only applied to the border of the element and the text cursor was applied for the text area.
> 
> Now, it’s applied to the all element (border and text area).

I changed the Cursor attribute in the Effects panel. I don’t know the older versions, but I do like having the control.

Hi, @joseph

I think it was like this before. The cursor will only change to Pointer if Searchable is off.
