Description

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS (e.g., Windows 10): Windows 10
  • Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): 2.1.2

Describe the bug:

The cursor state after using inspect element always changes to a touch-display cursor even for non-touch displays.

Repro steps:

  1. Start with a non-touch display (e.g., Responsive or Laptop w/ HiDPI or MDPI)
  2. Open Devtools and press Ctrl + Shift + C to "Select an element on the page to inspect it"
  3. Press escape or click somewhere on the screen

Expected behavior:

I expected the cursor would return to normal but instead a round, touch-display cursor pops up when hovering over the screen.
