Description
I am trying out the pen/tablet input support with a pen and tablet.
When I set_cursor_grab to CursorGrabMode::Locked:
- As expected, moving my mouse around does not move the cursor.
- However, moving the pen on the tablet does move the cursor around.
I would expect set_cursor_grab to affect the cursor regardless of the input device.
(If the intent is for set_cursor_grab to only affect the cursor when the mouse is in use, it would be nice to have an analogous method to set the grab mode for tablet pens.)
Winit version: 0.31.0-beta.3
Platform: Wayland

Research direction
Start from the Window::set_cursor_grab entry point and the Wayland tablet input support mentioned in the report. Reproduce the behavior with a pen and tablet, then trace how CursorGrabMode::Locked is applied to mouse versus pen input. Done means locked mode consistently affects the pen cursor, or the intended separate behavior is clearly established and covered by an appropriate test.
