Description

The pointer cursor in LMMS does not match the system `pointer` cursor.

#### Steps to reproduce

Just hover over some clickable area, for example in the the bassline editor.

#### Expected behavior

The system cursor for `pointer` is used.

#### Actual behavior

A custom/old/default cursor is used.

#### Screenshot

The actual system cursor (in my case from the Yaru theme)

Research direction

Reproduce the pointer behavior in the bassline editor and compare it with the system pointer shown by the linked MDN example. Trace the existing cursor handling from that clickable area; done means LMMS uses the system pointer cursor rather than its custom or default cursor, with the behavior checked on the affected AppImage setup.
