Currently, there is a bug in Webflow where the cursor does not become a pointer over a link even when the z-index is increased. This can be a frustrating issue, especially for users who rely on cursor feedback to determine if an element is clickable. However, there are a few workarounds that you can try to resolve this problem:

  1. Apply a higher z-index: If increasing the z-index on the link itself is not working, try increasing the z-index on the parent element or any overlapping elements. This will help ensure that the link takes priority and the cursor becomes a pointer.

  2. Check for overlaying elements: Sometimes, an overlaying element with a higher z-index can interfere with the cursor behavior on the link. Check your design for any overlapping elements and consider adjusting their z-index or position to resolve the issue.

  3. Use custom code: If the bug persists, you can add custom CSS code to enforce the pointer cursor on links. To do this, you'll need to find the class or ID of the link element and apply the following CSS code:

.your-link-class {  cursor: pointer !important;}

Replace .your-link-class with the actual class or ID of your link element. This should override any conflicting styles and force the cursor to become a pointer.

Keep in mind that these workarounds may not work in all scenarios, and it's always recommended to double-check Webflow's bug reports and community forums for any updates on this issue. Additionally, if you're experiencing this problem consistently and it's adversely affecting your design, it's advised to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance.
