When the combined fragments box is selected, with the handles visible, the dragging pointer never appears. (The dragging pointer is the plus sign with four arrow heads.) The OpenOffice convention is that when the pointer is inside the bounding box, the pointer is always a dragging pointer, except when directly over a sizing handle.
The convention used in the UML tool is the same that the left mouse button has to be pressed and hold inside the selected element including combined fragement, classes, etc before the dragging pointer shows. This is by design for the tool. I'm changing this to an enhancement.
This is for all other elements in the UML tool as well, not just combined fragments so changing the summary to reflect this, and all diagram type as well.
UML must follow UI convention, no innovation in this domain is ever appreciated ;)
Made changes to show move cursor when mouse pointer is inside a bounding area. Combined fragment is a bit tricky ( see issue 89834 ), it was recently changed to use the boundary instead of full rectangle. So the move cursor will appear around the border.

Reverted the fix to fix the IZ 132658. author lvv@netbeans.org Fri Apr 18 21:41:11 2008 -0700 (2 minutes ago) changeset 78684 9ef5cbc4f644 parent 78683 0ade0b1744e4 Fix for 132658 cursor should not switch from pointer to cross when moved over a node (revert 92898)
It's been decided not to fix it. The convention is that all nodes are movable on a drawing tool like this, no move cursor is necessary, it's rather a distraction.
