Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-09-19 14:53:06 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have "Hide Cursor" enabled.
2. Wait for the cursor to disappear.
3. Scroll up and down anything scrollable.
4. Click anywhere.

OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking causes the cursor to appear, but scrolling doesn't.

EXPECTED RESULT
Either to show the cursor in both interactions, or not show the cursor in both interactions by only showing it while the pointer is moving.
