When the mouse cursor is over a MouseArea when its cursorShape is set, the cursor's appearance only changes after it is moved at least minimally.

The following code example demonstrates the problem: The mouse cursor over the fullscreen window only changes after moving the mouse slightly.

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.0

Rectangle {
    width: Screen.width
    height: Screen.height

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        cursorShape: Qt.CrossCursor
        onClicked: Qt.quit()
    }
}

Please note:

• Setting hoverEnabled to true doesn't make a difference.

• changing the cursorShape delayed (e. g. with a Timer or Component.onCompleted()) doesn't make a difference.

• This might be related to bug 38306?

I think the proper behaviour would be for the mouse cursor's shape to change immediately without user interaction.
