Text cursor not showing on paragraphs

[davidwarrington]

I have no clue if this was intentional, but I'm not seeing a text cursor where I'd usually expect to such as on paragraph elements.

Disabling this seems to fix it but it will no doubt be overriding other intentional changes:

:where(:root) {
  cursor: default;
}

It's happening for me in these browsers:

• Chrome 100.0.4896.127
• Safari 15.4
• Firefox 100.0

Hello! I recently came across this and it got me thinking about it.

I understand the stated objetive Cursors only change to hint non-obvious interfaces, but it feels really weird navigating text that doesn't change the cursor. Somehow the usability is not the same for users.

In my context, users find useful to copy/paste text to be used elsewhere, but I'm not sure this is entirely clear for users when the cursor doesn't change. Sure, we can manually add a new line of code that overlaps this behavior, but it would be much better to have this updated in the root.

Would be really good to have other chime in on this! 😃
Thank you!
