I just installed a change to always use the hollow cursor (which draws
inside the image border) for non-transparent images (with no mask).

It was a one-line change, not requiring changes to any platform files
(contrary to what I said earlier, we do already have the necessary
code to draw into the image -- namely the "draw hollow cursor" code).

I hope this settles the current issue.
