Actual Behavior
Mouse pointer doesn't change to "resizing" one.
Log File
No.
Sample Files
--idle
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction
Start by tracing mpv's Wayland window-border pointer handling with --border=no; the issue names no source file or test entry point. Reproduce with --idle by hovering the border, and consider the work complete when the pointer changes to the resizing cursor before clicking.
