Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Osc should auto-hide while mouse hovering on bottom or top of osc, like every other player does, but mpv does not.
If such feature is implemented, add reset auto-hide timer or stop if interacting with the osc, such as seeking with mouse, until the interaction is over.

Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

Osc does not auto-hide while mouse hovering on bottom or top of osc.
As such, the mouse has to move to the center away from the top and bottom of the osc to auto-hide. This gets annoying having to move the mouse again when the mouse suddenly hovers over the top or bottom of the osc -- or worse, having osc-deadzone set to 1. Which means the mouse has to move away from the top or bottom of the osc every time.

Research direction

Start by tracing the OSC and cursor-autohide handling described in the issue, including how mouse hovering and seeking affect the autohide timer. Done means the OSC can hide while the pointer is over its top or bottom, while interaction resets or pauses hiding until it ends, or the documented alternative behavior is implemented consistently.
