Description

**Flameshot version**
Flameshot v0.10.1
Compiled with Qt 5.12.8

**Describe the bug**
The cursor is not visible when taking a screenshot of Flameshot. I can't accurately click on the function I need. Just like you are blind, I can't see the cursor position.

**System Information**

Linux version 5.13.0-21-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-052) (gcc (Ubuntu 11.2.0-7ubuntu2) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.37) #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 19 08:59:28 UTC 2021

ubuntu 20.10 Gnome 40.4.0

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the missing cursor while capturing Flameshot on the reported Linux/Ubuntu and GNOME environment, then trace the screenshot interaction and cursor rendering path. Done means the cursor is visible and accurately indicates the position while taking a screenshot.
