Description

@stroborobo

Issue Type: Bug

  1. Change your mouse cursor using the system's accessibility settings. E.g. make it pink and larger.
  2. Switch VS Code to a dark theme
  3. Move mouse cursor into a text editor pane or debug console.
  4. Cursor is displayed as default black/white selection cursor, not your colored one.

Observed on macOS 12.1
Does not happen in the terminal pane
