Stop mouse icon when Text object and CTRL key pressed

[grofaty]

Pinta 2.2-dev from master branch on Ubuntu 23.10: https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/actions/runs/7378423225/artifacts/1141939464

1. From some text editor copy some text to clipboard.
2. In Pinta click on Text object and click on canvas.
3. Press CTRL key (to press V key for paste) and UX problem appears. "Stop" icon is displayed, indicating pressing any key will result in invalid action. But obviously if I click on V key to paste the text, it is not invalid action. See attachment.

Additional tests:
a) Pinta 2.2-dev on Windows - I have first spotted this issue on Windows, because on Windows icon is in red color that is more obvious. On Ubuntu it is black color icon (see attachment) and not so obvious.
b) Pinta 2.1.1 on Ubuntu. There is different icon then on Pinta 2.2-dev also in black color, so not so obvious.

This is probably low priority problem. It is just little UX annoyance.

Yeah, I think the behaviour has always been like this, just the cursor icon was changed recently
Agreed it's not great - perhaps the behaviour should be flipped around?

Currently if you hold the Ctrl key this lets you click on any text that is still re-editable to start editing it again. The "invalid" cursor shows up when you're not on top of re-editable text to indicate that you can't do anything, but maybe we flip it around and show a normal cursor in that case and show a "hand" cursor when you're on top of re-editable text to make it clear that you're able to click on something

This is low priority... Is it possible to display this "stop" icon only if CTRL is pressed and user moves mouse to text field?

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Yeah I think that's roughly what I meant, except when you have Ctrl pressed and are over a text field that means you can click on it to resume editing, so the icon would need to be something that means the opposite of "stop"
