Problem Summary

On Linux, when moving the mouse over the SQL query input/editor in Chat2DB, the mouse cursor remains the default arrow cursor instead of changing to the text/I-beam cursor.

The SQL editor itself works normally and text can be entered, but the cursor appearance is incorrect.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch Chat2DB on Ubuntu Linux. Open a database connection. Open the SQL query/editor page. Move the mouse pointer over the SQL input area. Observe the mouse cursor.

Expected Behavior

The mouse cursor should change to the text/I-beam cursor (I) when hovering over the SQL editor, indicating that the area is editable.

Actual Behavior

The mouse cursor remains the default arrow cursor (↖) even when hovering over the SQL editor.
