Steps to Reproduce:

1. open editor and move the cursor to the head of one line (over the line number)
2. the cursor won't change to a head to right style in recent insider releases (i think this issue is from this week)

this is what it is now in vs code insiders build:

and this is how it behaves in stable build:

missing of this feature really bothered me 😭

I got a TEMPORARY solution for this issue:
change the css class of .monaco-editor .margin-view-overlays .line-numbers in file workbench.main.css
with the style below:

cursor: -webkit-image-set(url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' height='45' widht='30' viewBox='0 0 15 21'%3E%3Cpath fill='%23fff' stroke='%23000' d='M14.5 1.2L1.9 13.8h5.2l-2.6 5.3 3.2 1 2.6-5.2 4.2 3.1z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E") 2x) 30 0,default;

the key of this TEMPORARY solution is the height and width attribute of the svg tag.

@emeryao great insights, can you add this to the still open issue where we track it now? #8708
