Description
I found the cursor hidden by set_cursor_visible(false) can appear by shaking mouse. It would be caused by the "shake mouse pointer to locate" feature I enable. (This Q&A might be a hint to fix it?)
I tested winit v0.29.10 on macOS 11.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on macOS 11 with winit v0.29.10: call set_cursor_visible(false), then enable macOS’s “shake mouse pointer to locate” feature and shake the mouse. Read the linked Apple documentation and Stack Overflow Q&A for the relevant platform behavior. Done means a hidden cursor stays hidden when the feature is enabled.
