Thoughts on scissors cursor on netplay replays

[Silken Healer]

The scissors cursor now shows up when you're watching back your netplay replays. Is this really intended as you're usually not going to want to edit when you're watching your netplay replays back? These are Simons thoughts on it:

[2025-03-29 19:33:05] <SilkenHealer> @SimonN Just a heads up, I'm not sure if I should file this as a sug/bug topic on the forums or not, if you intended it for it I don't think it needs changing, but are you aware that you get the scissors cursor on Lix even when you're watching solobattle replays back? Is that really intended that you get the scissors in the way of the cursor when you just want to watch old multi-player battles back and you probably aren't intending to edit the replay?
[2025-03-30 23:22:41] <SimonN> SilkenHealer: " I'm not sure if I should file this as a sug/bug topic": Always file. It's not your job to guess what I think. If stuff bothers you, post.
[2025-03-30 23:23:04] <SilkenHealer> I just wanted to get your thoughts on it first
[2025-03-30 23:23:29] <SimonN> SilkenHealer: "scissors cursor on Lix even when you're watching solobattle replays back? Is that really intended" Not explicitly desired. Only a consequence of how we can edit it. Usually, you don't want to edit it, and then it is borderline misleading. I don't know what's best here.
[2025-03-30 23:23:45] <SimonN> Yep.
[2025-03-30 23:24:25] <SilkenHealer> It was just a fleeting thought, I do feel like it doesn't need filing if you intended, I'm sorry that's just my thoughts.
[2025-03-30 23:24:32] <SimonN> Sorry for business in real life. Still more stuff to do. Still many topics on LF on my backlog.
[2025-03-30 23:24:43] <SimonN> Hmm.
[2025-03-30 23:25:14] <SimonN> What was your hunch? Regluar cursor? Different cursor altogether?
[2025-03-30 23:25:21] <SilkenHealer> Prehaps I can just make a thread to discuss it, without doing it as a "proper" report with version, steps to reproduce, etc. that I've been trying to do recently for sugs/bugs to make it more detailed and easier for you.
[2025-03-30 23:25:39] <SimonN> Yes, those are excellent.
[2025-03-30 23:25:48] <SimonN> Thanks!

What's everyone else's thoughts on this?

How can Lix possibly know whether or not the user is watching the replay for watching/editing purposes?

[Silken Healer]

If it has more than two players and if it was selected from "Replays" on the title screen rather from the level

Edit: I assume you can't watch replays from netplay in the levels
