Description Anantha Keesara 2007-12-03 11:50:43 PST 
Steps:
1. Go to: http://www.voyages-sncf.com/leisure/fr/launch/home/
2. Mouse hover on any top icon (Hotel, Train, vol etc...)

Issue:
Notice that the cursor doesn't change to hand shaped in Safari.

Other Browsers:
IE7, FF, Opera show hand shaped cursor on hover.

This may relate to bug 16797.

This seems silly.

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ui/#cursor

default
    The platform-dependent default cursor. Often rendered as an arrow.

"default" seems to me to be whatever the "normal" platform cursor would be.  Why this would change to a pointer over a link is beyond me.  "auto" handles proper link hovering etc.

With this broken behavior in FF and IE, it's not possible to force a "platform" normal cursor at all times.

We can implement this FF quirk (which I assume IE copied in IE7), but I'd rather not. :(

I cannot reproduce the bug with the test-case. I think this was fixed in <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/27761>. Feel free to re-open if you think there is still a problem.
