SUMMARY
***
When watching fullscreen video, mouse cursor is not hidden after few seconds as is usual. However when I alt+tab to another application while still being in fullscreen and then alt+tab back to video player, cursor is hidden after few seconds.

When streaming video via Firefox (I tried eurosport.com), cursor is still visible and alt+tab doesn't help.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install video player (I tried Haruna and VLC)
2. Open any video file (I used mkv)
3. Press 'F' to go to full screen

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor is not hidden after few seconds.

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor should be hidden after few seconds.

Please report to the video players, wayland clients are in charge of drawing the cursor.

FWIW haruna correctly hides the cursor for me
