@sergioc - Not clear on what you mean. Can you elaborate ?
(also - Diagram Canvas is a term mostly used in SM; are we in the right Repo ?)

[sergioc]

Yes, I'm referring to SI.

In current version, when hovering a blank area of the flow diagram "area"/canvas, I see a pointing hand cursor. In fact, the pointing hand cursor is the only cursor that shows, regardless of where it's positioned in the flow diagram.

The cursor type to show should be more specific, depending where it's located, to better indicate its affordances:

• When hovering the white areas surrounding the diagram components - use Move cursor (to indicate you can pan around)

• When hovering a message name - use pointing hand cursor (to indicate it gives access to the menu)

• When hovering elsewhere inside a message container block - show a pointing cursor (to indicate it can be highlighted)

@sergioc - Makes sense to me.
@HEskandari / @joaquinjares - what do you think ?

It makes perfect sense to me. As it is right now, since almost everything is clickable you get a hand pointer cursor almost everywhere. That's weird and annoying. I'm not sure if it's possible/easy, though. But it's worth giving it a try.

@dannycohen @sergioc @joaquinjares Think this is handled by Mindscape diagram (at least if we're talking about Flow diagram). I believe that is the behavior OOTB, should we raise that as an issue with Mindscape?

[dannycohen]

@HEskandari - please do.

[joj]

I'm going to try the fix by miself... but did anyone actually raise this with mindscape?

[dannycohen]

@HEskandari - ?

[joj]

Turns out we were doing it on purpose. Changing it was really easy. It's updated in sagafeature now. Let me know if you also want it on develop..

[joj]

My bad. In develop, not sagafeature.

@joaquinjares @dannycohen have pinged their support guy, said it is not something that's OOTB, so was confused, good to know it is fixed.
