That's exactly what we did before. And it is really no alternative as
mentioned in a mail yesterday (no moving one line up/down possible for

Mozilla itself and not with some crude JS hack :) Nevertheless we'll try
to do this hack as good as possible, so that BXE has good cursor support
for the time being.
