With that reasoning I can say that nobody asked so far for no standing cursor in over 20 years, longer then Geany is around. I fail to see the issue, you dislike the cursor, others not, it has some use, naturally you can try to select stuff to word around that but just because you dislike it and don't see the use, it is neither useless nor a bad choice to have it, even for split views. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
