[PD] cursor in array pd50 vs pd48

[Dan Wilcox]

I'll start by assuming "impossible to work with" means the functionality works but you can't see the array point behind the vertical double arrow cursor while moving it.

The cursors are set in pd-gui.tcl in the init_for_platform proc. You can changing ::cursor_runmode_thicken to an arrow.

The cursor code in the TCL hasn't changed since at least 9-10 years, so maybe you are seeing a difference between Tk versions.
