Cursor on post-status-info bar

Description

It seems a bit odd that the entire info bar under the post editor can be used to re-size the editor, but only the far right corner indicates it with a cursor.

Users unaware of this re-size possibility may even struggle to hit the sweet spot where the cursor does change thinking it is the only way to do so without using the settings page to modify it.

Changing the whole bar to have the cursor styling of row-resize might be an idea, as the re-size capabilities prevent users from highlighting and copying text in that bar any way?

Properly indicate with the cursor that the editor can be vertically resized using the entire info bar, not just the handle displayed in the corner.
