Hello!

I'm routinely frustrated when trying to click on the beginning of a line of text to place the cursor or start a selection - I aim for it but it is very narrow (first half of the first character) and I miss and either hit the code-folding vertical or I get text-column two instead. Can that be made a little wider please?

Thanks!

Addition by @hediet: See #127025 for how the cursor is misleading.

I believe this is a bug, and not a feature request, because the mouse cursor actually appears as an I-beam (rather than as an arrow) when in that left area, which indicates that text selection, etc., will work.
