Suggestion/wishes: Straighten tool cursor
Could we please get a new cursor for the straighten-tool?
I find it very hard to be accurate with the current cursor.
The way it looks now, it has two "points", one is the crosshair in the middle, and one is the arrow on the end of the curved line. And it is the arrow of the two that is most usable.
The crosshair is in the middle of a lot of other stuff, and it is really hard sometimes, to see that you are actually over the point in the picture where you want to be.
Sometimes straightening is a matter of choosing two points that is not connected by a line in the picture, so using the line that appears when you use the tool doesn't really help. Also, with the current cursor I very often miss the starting point, because I can't really see that I am over the right pixel in the picture.

I must say that I find the current tool quite useful. Of course it only really helps when there is a line you can set as vertical or horizontal. If there isn't, I am more likely to change to one of the other rotate tools, such as the freehand rotate, or to enter a number of degrees in the crop tool tab. Also, I often zoom in before using the straighten tool, if the straight line is only a small part of the image. And habitually I draw down from top to bottom or across from left to right but there is no reason not to go the other way (bottom to top, or right to left). And I get the most accurate control by drawing past the end point I am aiming at so you can then get finer control over slight shifts in the angle.
And finally ... I sometimes straighten an image, and then change the angle slightly anyway because what is technically straight doesn't always look right.
