You have to lock the cursor, or it resets to default on idle as soon as the handler finishes.

Best practice is to just set the defaultcursor, which obviates the need to lock the cursor. Locking the cursor can lead to frozen cursors if somehow your "unlock cursor" command fails to trigger. Very annoying for the user.
