Measuring tape: the hand cursor hides the point while moving it

[danyvanimpe-lab]

First of all, thank you Stefan for the wonderful work on layerling.
The daily updates and the speed at which you respond to suggestions
are really impressive.

I have been using the measuring tape a lot lately, and it works very well.
There is one small thing that would make it even easier to use precisely.
When placing a measuring point, the cursor is a crosshair, which works well.
But with "Move measuring points", the cursor becomes a hand that covers
the point while dragging, so I cannot see exactly where it will end up.

Possible solutions:

1. A semi-transparent hand, so the point stays visible through it.
   This keeps the difference between placing (crosshair) and moving (hand).
2. A hand with a small crosshair at its tip, marking the exact position.
3. The same crosshair as when placing.

Option 1 or 2 would keep it clear whether you are placing or moving a point,
while still allowing accurate positioning.

@danyvanimpe-lab thank you, and good point: the hand really does cover the very spot you want to see. It is changed for the next version: the hand stays while you hover over a point, so you can tell it can be moved, and while you drag it the cursor turns into the crosshair of placing, so the point stays visible and you see where it lands.

@danyvanimpe-lab while a measuring point is dragged, the cursor is now the crosshair, in 1.114.0. It shows where the point lands.

Thank you Stefan, that was fast! I just tried it and it works perfectly.
Moving measuring points is much easier now that I can see exactly where they land.
Thanks again for all your work on layerling.
