Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the macOS nightly build and trace the frontend's mouse handling around video boundaries. Confirm the behavior with a lightgun-supporting core; done means the cursor cannot move beyond the video area and out-of-bounds positions are no longer passed to affected cores.
