I asked a question about 3px vs 1px cursor in desktop Linux here:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/235759/is-there-any-reason-to-not-use-similar-cursors-to-windows-by-linux-distributions
and on some other places, but it seems that nobody knows why it is already not done in current X server or other implementations.
Can somebody suggest a place where should I ask for the implementation of the 1px wide select text (I-beam) mouse cursor, like in Windows?
The 3px wide cursor is very difficult to use with "lll"-like strings and small fonts where the cursor is bigger than the part you want to copy/cut. and not talking about pasting between single or double quotes.
I am sure a lot of Ubuntu users know what I am talking about.
Thank you for any suggestion who to approach to implement this in Ubuntu and/or other distros, if possible.
