Karl Ramberg commented on SQ-1076:
----------------------------------

I use Windows XP so it could be a platform issue.
When mouse button is down both eyedropper and normal cursor shows.
Same issue when big cursor is on or off.

Screen scaling does not change the behavior.

> When the mouse goes down in a modeless color picker, such as those found in property sheets and in the graph-paper panel, the user is in a "color-picking-up" mode correlated with that particular picker, and can pick up a color from anywhere on the squeak screen.  To emphasize that the user is in this somewhat counterintuitive mode and to call attention to the fact that, having established which picker is being fed, the user can proceed to pick up a color from anywhere, it would be desirable to show the eyedropper cursor (until now only shown in the modal picker)  for the duration of the mode, i.e. until the mouse comes up.  The attached fileout implements this change.
