I experienced this exact issue while performing a usability test the other day. The result was that the user was mindlessly hunting for where the cursor changed, rather than thinking about the UI.

Currently under prototyping mode - when hovering over interactive components the curser instantly changes from arrow to hand.

This creates major issues during usability tests since users are able to guess the “correct” answer just by identifying hotspots via curser change.

It actually makes the “show hotspots on links” checkbox less useful as we still show the hotspots by curser change even if this is unchecked
