crDefault (at least on Windows) is supposed to show the Systems default for wherever the cursor is.
IMO crDefault means that the actual shape of the cursor is not determined by the control under the cursor, but instead the control's parent cursor is used (recursively). When even the form and Screen uses crDefault, the current system cursor is used (arrow, hourglass...).

That means over an Edit field this is a IBeam cursor and not an arrow.
I don't know what the GTK2 default for edit controls is, but I checked with fireox on GTK, and firefox at least does show IBeam for edit fields?
If IBeam is the correct GTK2 behaviour then there is a bug (because in lazarus, this does not seem to happen)

I used to thing that do. But I am sure it isn't:
- Delphi does not fall back on the parent neither (ok no proof...)
- It would not make sense: put a TEdit (crDefault) on a TPanel => then the edit would have to follow the panel, but it wishes to show the IBeam still.
And about screen cursor. It is not a fallback for default. If screen.cursor is set to none crDefault, it overrides all other cursors (at least thats the windows implementation of the LCL.
