Hidden Top layer objects "eat" the cursor

[Sivakatirswami]

mmm.. I have 2.6.1  and yes there are four groups of textual info and  
yes there are no cursor issues there. if three are hidden, even if on  
top of #4, the i-Beam appears.

I went through a painstaking layer test and it's very simple.

The main "background" image... which is a PNG file with a transparent  
"hole" in it will not allow the I-beam cursor to appear anywhere in  
the transparent area, if the vis of that image is on and the layer is  
higher, on top of, the text field. Oddly though, you *can* drag and  
select text...

Scott was right... if you hide the image, the i-beam will appear. but  
in this case the vis of the png is on... I think I can solve this  
with a little more precise layering, now that I understand it... if  
not, I throw in the towel and will go for separate cards... not my  
favorite dev strategy though...
