38445 - [fix in hand]Complete support of CSS2/3 cursors on Mac

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Michael Lowe]

Implementation of CSS2 and CSS3 cursor properties needs to be completed on Mac.
  The Windows implementation of these is mostly complete now.   

Work needs to be done in nsWindow::SetCursor(nsCursor aCursor) to support the 
CSS2 and CSS3 cursors, including these cases:

      case eCursor_sizeNW:
      case eCursor_sizeSE:
      case eCursor_sizeNE:
      case eCursor_sizeSW:
      case eCursor_crosshair:
      case eCursor_move:
      case eCursor_help:

      case eCursor_copy: // CSS3
      case eCursor_alias:
      case eCursor_cell:
      case eCursor_grab:
      case eCursor_grabbing:
      case eCursor_spinning:
      case eCursor_context_menu:
      case eCursor_count_up:
      case eCursor_count_down:
      case eCursor_count_up_down:

Easy to fix (and it will help the RichInStyle bug count ;-)

Comment 2

[Pierre Saslawsky]

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another known 
resource will be working on this bug, or if it blocks your work in some way -- 
please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

I fixed it during my spare time. Nominating nsbeta3.

Comment 4

I'd _really_ like to see this get in, even if it's not completely ready for
prime time so folks can begin to bang on it and test it, esp for support for
.cur files.

Comment 5

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Andrew, see my comments from [2000-07-20 01:31] in bug 1916.
Do you have any description of the format of .cur files?

Comment 6

[Marc Attinasi]

Approving for nsbeta3

Comment 7

[andreww]

dunno of a spec for .cur - would it be hard to support the other image formats 
that mozilla already has like .gif and .png etc?  .cur I think gets mentioned 
alot, but it seems to be like a windows-only type thing.

Comment 8

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Fix checked in nsMacWidget.rsrc and nsWindow.cpp.

Comment 9

[andreww]

Is there any support for custom cursor feature? the <URI> part of the spec? If so 
how does it work?

Comment 10

[andreww]

Never mind, I see the comments in #1916 about uri support.

Comment 11

[Christine Hoffman]

David: In your testcase, the third example, there is a 'cursor: auto' value on 
the anchor. The result is that you get an I-bar when you mouseover. Is this 
considered 'reasonable'? Everything else in the testcase works.

Comment 12

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

The result seems to me to be an I-bar over text, but a pointer when not over
text.  This seems reasonable, but I asked the CSS WG for clarification.

Comment 13

[Christine Hoffman]

I will verify this as fixed. There is one minor issue that David is clarifying 
with W3.
