Why doesn't the cursor's note icon change until I move the cursor?
If I enter the input mode (n), the mouse cursor changes to the selected node, like a crochet. In this state, if I press a key like 4, the mouse cursor's note icon does not change. It changes when I move the mouse. Is this an intended bahaviour? Kind of inconvenient because I do not remember all the shortcut keys and the programme does not immediately show the feedback.
PS: This forum does allow attaching MP4 video format. I don't know why, it would not pose any more security threats than the other formats it already allows, and its size is not big. I had to zip it.

I guess the change of duration doesn't force a redraw of the cursor. Feel free to enter this into the issue tracker.

Or better #329057: Mouse cursor's note icon does not change until I move the cursor.
Certainly not really intended. I believe this had come up before, but can't find it.

When you press a key like 4, observe the note input toolbar to get feedback of the note's duration.

Though that kind of defeats the efficiency of using keyboard (shortcuts) entry.

In which case you don't need that ghost note icon in the first place. The mouse may not be anywhere near the place you're entering notes, and goes invisble the very moment you start entering
