That red ⦸ cursor means the macro is rendered inside a read‑only context. Forge macros in Confluence only support interactivity in view mode, not in the editor. When you insert a custom‑UI macro using `/app-name`, Confluence shows a static preview while editing, and all event handlers (like button clicks) are disabled. This is expected behavior based on the Forge custom UI macro documentation.
Publish or view the page to test your macro’s interactive features.
