Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88688

The 'auto' value for the 'cursor' property should select the cursor that the
browser will display by default for that element. However, Mozilla will use the
I-beam cursor for <a href="..."> elements.

I suppose this bug is due to <a> using a nsTextFrame for being displayed, which,
in its GetCursor method, return NS_STYLE_CURSOR_TEXT if
GetStyleUserInterface()->mCursor results in NS_STYLE_CURSOR_AUTO.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to demonstration page.
2. Hover mouse over third paragraph in the cursor: auto presentation (and never
mind the typo - the css uses the correct cursor property)

Actual Results:  
The cursor turns into an I-beam.

Expected Results:  
The cursor should turn into a hand (link pointer).
