Weird - what theme do you have selected?

And this happens just running the cursor demo from the test folder?  
With a straight build of 1.1.x.-r5940 ?
I just tried this on a Gnome/FC7 box, and I get the "right thing" for  
FL_CURSOR_MOVE, even with a few different themes selected...

The problem is always how the theme designer chose to represent the  
cursor, if they chose to alter them - and there's no way to be sure  
what you'll get unless you implement your own cursor glyphs, I'm afraid.
You can get more or less the same effect of win32 boxes with some of  
the more "adventurous" cursor themes there, too, for just the same  
reason, so it is not a peculiarly linux or even fltk problem - it's  
just arty graphics designers not implementing the cursors in a  
sensible fashion...!
