Sentry Crash Report:

Description Bartosz 2024-06-22 21:01:11 UTC

When Hide Cursor in Desktop Effects is turned on, after defined inactivity time cursor disappears and doesn't show up when using a graphic tablet. Mouse needs to be used to show the cursor again which makes it impossible to draw in graphical programs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug graphic tablet
2. Turn on Hide Cursor
3. Wait 5 seconds for the cursor to disappear (default inactivity time)

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't see the cursor when using graphic tablet. Moving cursor with a graphic tablet doesn't toggle cursor visibility back again. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Moving the cursor with a graphic tablet should be treated as a mouse movement and toggle cursor visibility back again.
