Description

When clicking with a Steam Controller's emulated mouse the cursor disappears. You can make it reappear if you bring up the Steam Overlay. This happens regardless of if it was launched in BPM or not. Use of a normal mouse does not cause this.

Turning off the overlay doesn't help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Black Guards with a Steam Controller's emulated mouse, comparing clicks with a normal mouse and with the Steam Overlay available. Use the linked system report to match the environment. Done means the cursor remains visible after emulated-mouse clicks without needing to open the overlay.
