**Problem description**

**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**

Most likely yes

In the game splitgate the mouse is escaping the game while in full screen. A well known work around is to use gamescope(https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope) would it bennifical to include this in the steam flatpak?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by examining the Steam Flatpak packaging and how gamescope could be integrated, then reproduce Splitgate's fullscreen mouse escape; done would require an agreed integration approach and verification that the mouse remains contained.
