Grim Dawn (219990) cursor stays invisible with default controls layout on Steam Deck after 3.14.0

[matte-schwartz]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?

• The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications

Current Behavior

Bisected to: d7758a8
Original report: ValveSoftware/SteamOS#1681

I investigated Grim Dawn (219990), and it regresses between 3.13.19 and 3.14.1 in the jupiter-main repo which I then bisected between on my OLED Deck.

After the bisected bad commit, the mouse in the menu of Grim Dawn goes from always showing when using the default layout and moving the mouse with the right touchpad to rarely showing under the same conditions. it does show properly until the 3000ms timeout if you touch the screen directly or if you invoke the cursor by holding the Steam button and using the touchpad.__

EDIT: the bad behavior continues on desktop when using both gamescope -f -- %command% and gamescope -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command% on SteamOS 3.6.19

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch Grim Dawn
2. Once in the main menu, attempt to use the right touchpad to move the cursor
   The mouse will remain invisible while still interacting with the menu
3. Hold the Steam button and move the mouse
   The mouse will appear, but only for 3000ms as set in gamescope-session

Logging, screenshots, or anything else

running gamescope with wlserver debug logging shows a ton of the same sequence of events whenever the cursor is moved

[matte-schwartz]

Was able to narrow down the issue quite a bit, major difference seems to be in how "Mouse Region" Steam Input events (or "Cursor", which is Grim Dawn's default right trackpad UI binding) get treated for presentation by gamescope with a visible cursor vs how "As Mouse" Steam Input events get treated for presentation.

Mouse Region events went from always showing a visible cursor in a similar manor to "As Mouse" to only showing a visible cursor for the 3000ms timeout set in /usr/bin/gamescope-session despite continued interaction.

This lines up with what was reported by another user: ValveSoftware/SteamOS#1681 (comment) but in Diablo II Resurrected

[ubeogesh]

A workaround for this is binding right pad touch to "Mouse > Move Cursor by amount > 1 in X or Y", then go to settings and enable "hold to repeat (turbo)".

These "move by amount" events force the cursor to always be shown.
