Change cursor shape issue in pcbnew (openGL)

[Mario Luzeiro]

In openGL mode, if you change the cursor shape in Preferences -> General -> Cursor it don't behave correctly / as expected. There is no change in the cursor but it changes the icon on the left panel.

I didn't know that GAL was supposed to support the crosshair styles. I don't see them. I only see my systems arrow pointer thingie. So by that, I don't see this as fixed.

Try to use any of the tools available on the right toolbar. You have around 75% chance of seeing the cursor and you can switch its size too.

And by saying "75% chance of seeing the cursor" I did not mean it shows up 3 times of 4 trials;) Most of the tools use the cursor when activated.
