Correct mouse pointer over the text input, in DateInputWidget
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

An important one about usability:

  • When the date selector is opened, the mouse over the text input should be a caret and not a hand. It would make understandable the date can be manually typed.

A less important, cosmetic one:

  • When the date selector is closed, the mouse over the text of the input (e.g. "No date selected" or a date) is an arrow, while over the rest of the input the mouse is a hand. It should always be a hand.

Thank you!

Another nitpick (which was already existing before your changes):
When JavaScript is disabled, the cursor over the text input is a pointer, but it should stay the default caret.
