Description

### Steps to reproduce

Build flutter app with target webapp
1. Add `SemanticsBinding.instance.ensureSemantics();` to the main function of your application.
2. Add a [Slider widget](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Slider-class.html) on any page
3. Notice how the cursor fails to change on hover or when you interact with it.

### Expected results

Mouse cursor changes when you hover over the slider and when you interact with it.

### Actual results

Mouse cursor stays as the default pointer when you hover and interact with it.

### Code sample

Code sample

```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/semantics.dart';

void main() {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
SemanticsBinding.instance.ensureSemantics();
runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Namer App',
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: SizedBox(
width: 500,
height: 100,
child: Slider(
value: 30,
max: 100,
onChanged: (double value) {
print('Slider value changed: $value');
},
mouseCursor: SystemMouseCursors.click),
))));
}
}
```
