Description

I wanted to update the cursor for my Draggable Items to be grab and then grabbing while dragging, but it wasn't working. In doing some digging, I've found that adding pointer-events: none disables the use cursor (yay CSS 🙄).

I definitely understand the reasoning behind setting pointer-events: none, but I wonder if there'd be way to set it on the underlying child of DraggableItem instead of that <div/> itself, so you could still set the cursor prop of the div? 🤔

There may not be an easy/workable fix here, but I figured I'd file it anyway just to see if you had any ideas. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the DraggableItem entry point and reproducing the interaction between its pointer-events styling and the cursor prop. Done means callers can use grab and grabbing cursor values while dragging still works as intended.
