Comment 2 for bug 2047918

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
