**Background**  
When you mouse over a node, the pointer changes from crosshairs to the move cursor, indicating click/drag or click/edit possibilities.

The border of a group also has click/drag and click/edit options but the pointer does not change from crosshairs, though the border does get a dashed outline.

[A recent discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/feature-request-select-all-nodes-below-to-drag-for-more-space/83121/16) revealed some confusion over how to move groups.

**Proposal**  
Change the cursor when hovering over a group border in line with the behaviour hovering over nodes to indicate similar functionality.
