Hidden Top layer objects "eat" the cursor

[Sivakatirswami]

Well, I think we all know the recipe for this

1) make a field.
2) Create a PNG image file of a big photo
3) put that image on a layer above the field
4) hide the image.
5) You cannot get the cursor to appear in the field... even if you  
passMouseup thru the hidden image.

a) is there a solution? other than temporary relayer to sent the  
image to the back while editing the field, which of course works, but  
then if you "show image" it appears in the back, when the intent is  
for it to cover the fields...workaround being to dynamically relayer  
the objects on hide and show by script, but this is a hack...

b) if there is no solution, is this a bug? or shall we consider it  
expected behavior... one might think so, since, in fact, there is an  
object on top of the field, albeit, hidden.

If it  is not deemed a bug, then we need to set a feature request:  
hidden object do not eat the cursor...I check all bugs in Bugzilla  
relating to Cursor and didn't see this issue on the list of 29 bugs  
relating to cursor behavior
