Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked output.txt for platform and reproduction details, then locate mpv's existing cursor-visibility handling for mouse movement and button use. Done means the cursor remains hidden while mouse buttons are used and becomes visible with mouse movement, with the behavior verified against the reported case.
