[Rd] Cursor not behaving properly

[Martyn Plummer]

I can't reproduce this on Fedora 20, so I think it is an Ubuntu bug.

If anyone not on Ubuntu can reproduce this then please add a comment in
the bug repository.

https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16077

If not then I'll close it.
