Summary0017683: Misleading pointer for Linked Text Creation after closing error popin
DescriptionWhen a text frame is overflown by a too long text, a red cross appears at the bottom right. When clickin that red cross, the black hand cursor jumps and becomes a new 2+frames pointer that enables to place a new linked text frame.

When i dont move the pointer and click rightaway, an error pops and say "you cant link a frame to itself" because the jump position is too close to the first frame.
When i close that error, the pointer has become a black hand -- instead of the 2+frames pointer it was before --
But keeps behaving same as with the 2+frames pointer
= scribus still is in "place new linked text frame" mode,
but there is no sign of it.

It is misleading.

Wish is :
- have a pointer shape that is consistend with actual scribus mode.
- Recover the 2+frames pointer shape after closing the error popin.
