Bug description

I always use MPV for watching videos fullscreen and the cursor always auto hides on start of video.

With 22.3 and using fs=yes the cursor is no longer auto hiding, unless you manually pause/unpause video.

Steps to reproduce

MPV conf with fs=yes has the cursor has always auto hidden after a second in full screen mode.

Expected behavior

Previously you could just double click on the video and MPV would open full screen and the cursor would hide after a second.

Additional information

Workarounds for the bug:

You have to manually pause and restart the video to get it to auto hide.

OR

Add pause to mpv.conf to start the video paused then click the right mouse button to start and it auto hides.

OR

fs=no and double click on the video to go fullscreen and it auto hides

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with MPV configured with fs=yes on Mint 22.3 and muffin 6.6.4, checking whether the cursor remains visible when playback starts fullscreen. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the fullscreen and cursor behavior in muffin; done means the cursor hides after about a second without pausing and restarting the video.
