Remove pointer cursor in language box

[vaishalipanchal]

​https://wordpress.org/ needs to remove pointer cursor in language box as whole language box is not clickable so need to set cursor as default.

Hmm. The language names are clickable to me (Firefox 62 64-bit on Win10)...

[vaishalipanchal]

There's a huge inline style block in the main page when visiting wordpress.org. In total, the format 'cursor:pointer; is called three times for various media:

Probably the idea was to stress the fact that "We've got some links here". But the sad result is that the links that really ARE there become less discoverable, since the cursor anyway changes to pointer when you hover the language names. But with the whole language-guess block having the same format, this becomes less visible.

I made a little screencast to clarify the problem here. It now looks like the whole green box is clickable, as the cursor changes to a pointer when entering the green box. This is confusing.

Compare it to the header menu. Here, the cursor only changes to a pointer when you hover the menu items, not in the entire black header area.

Same should go for the language box. Don't make it look like it's clickable when it's not.

@boemedia thank you for sharing video and your thoughts. So we needs to remove pointer cursor from whole language box right?

[coffee2code]

Fixed in [14509-dotorg].

@vaishalipanchal: Thanks for the patch! However, the necessary change was in a non-open sourced template file.

[vaishalipanchal]

@coffee2code, look nice.

i can't got any Props for this ticket?

[coffee2code]

@vaishalipanchal: Hi, that's what I was alluding to with what I said. The proposed implementation in the patch wasn't the approach taken in the commit. Props are given if the proposed patch materially applies, at least in part, to the final solution, or if the proposal contributes significantly to the solution.
