Comment 2 for bug 1598920

Some ubuntu-ui-toolkit component muse be eating or overriding that MouseArea's cursor.

If you have a qml file just with that inner Rectangle + MouseArea it works fine:

"""
import QtQuick 2.4
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3

MainView {
    objectName: "mainView"
    applicationName: "mouseTest"

    width: units.gu(100)
    height: units.gu(75)

    Page {
        header: PageHeader {
            id: pageHeader
            title: i18n.tr("Cursor Test")
        }

        Rectangle{
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: UbuntuColors.coolGrey

            MouseArea{
                anchors.fill: parent
                cursorShape: Qt.CrossCursor
                hoverEnabled: true
                onClicked: console.log("In MouseArea")

            }
        }
    }
}
