Description

When I, for example, `wt sp cmd.exe; mf 1`, the cursor remains visible in the inactive pane. This is unlike moving focus in other situations; normally the cursor is hidden in an inactive pane.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with `wt sp cmd.exe; mf 1` and compare it with other focus changes where the inactive-pane cursor is hidden. Trace the pane focus and cursor-visibility handling, then verify that the cursor is hidden in the inactive pane without changing the reported behavior in other situations.
