Cursor Issue

@MahaB82A 

I can't find an image from Photoshop. This is from Illustrator, which has a few more choices than Photoshop, but many are shared.

• The iBeam by itself is for editing existing text
• The dotted lines, whether in a circle or rectangle, mean you are about to create a new text object
• The one you are asking about is an iBeam inside a dotted-line circle, meaning you are about to create Horizontal text inside a path.

If you hover the Type Tool inside a path then the I beam cursor displays a circle around it to signify you can type inside of the path without the type spilling out of the path boundaries.
