Right, this is why I suggested setting it on 'default', not 'select':
setting it on select means that it will only happen after you've
selected it.

Yep, it's a bug. Since the default cursor is '', when the code loops
through, it sets style properties back to defaults if they evaluate to
true, and '' evaluates to false, so it's never overridden.
