Hi Bart,

cursor navigation and support for the magic mouse or magic trackpad are not 
well implemented in Pharo, sadly. It’s a known issue for a long time (sadly) 
and I at least am not aware of any solution. I would very much appreciate one, 
but it is a case of not enough manpower and the community having other 
priorities.
