The crosshair behavior is canvas dependent.  In the legacy canvas, the
crosshairs (full screen or small) are always shown.  In the modern
canvases, the crosshairs are only show when a tool is active and the
option is disabled.  Enabling the option makes the modern canvas
behavior the same as the legacy canvas.
