Summary0009446: Mouse cursor as text selector in terminal
Description

I just noticed and it became so annoying that in terminal instead of default mouse pointer showed up this ][ (mouse cursor, text selector), before it was default mouse cursor.
I installed fresh kali in VM there is originaly mouse cursor everywhere. Something maybe broke inside my kali, how can i remove this ][? Added screenshots.

The correct cursor for the terminal is the text one ( ][ ), this is not an error. If you were seeing the mouse cursor before was due to a possible issue or misconfiguration with your VM software
