Changing the `element type` to “button” causes incorrect cursor behaviour.

Below you can see:

1. A built-in Appfarm button: pointer cursor works with and without an on-click action.
2. A container with element type changed to “button” and an on-click action: receives the default, but should have the pointer cursor.
3. A container with the default element type (div) and an on-click action: receives pointer cursor.
