The mouse cursor is not accurate in kitty on macos15.2

[leavesullic]

Describe the bug
This is a really great tool and is my favorite.
This bug does not affect the use of Kitty but it is very annoying.
I don't know if this is a bug of macos or a bug of kitty, because I hardly found this bug on other application windows.
The mouse does not switch to the correct shape when it moves across the entire kitty window.
To be precise, in the kitty window, the mouse will always be an arrow or text selection cursor, and will not change according to the information the mouse is pointing to.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. focus on kitty window
2. drag the window to move for a while
3. then the mouse cursor becomes inaccurate

Screenshots
In the 1st pic, the cursor shape is wrong in kitty window.
In the 2nd pic, the cursor shape is right in macos default terminal window.

What information? The mouse cursor is always arrow or text cursor, or hand when hovering over a URL. There are no other cursor shapes unless the program running in the terminal outputs the correct escape codes. If you want to see that in action run

kitten mouse-demo

in kitty and move your mouse over the different cursor shape names.

I have encountered a similar issue.

Reproduction:

1. Set the mouse cursor to Text cursor (aka I-Beam Cursor)
2. Switch to Kitty and move the mouse any position within the Kitty window; the mouse cursor will be keeping show as the Text cursor
3. Unless you move mouse cursor out from Kitty window then back, or moving kitty window by click title bar then drag.

I am not sure if this cause by macOS, but I have not experienced this with other programs. I have been this issue since macOS 12.x with Kitty.

Does not reproduce for me. Steps I tried:

1. Start kitty
2. Run echo http://test.com
3. Move mouse over test.com
4. Mouse becomes pointing hand cursor, as expected.
5. move mouse elsewhere in kitty window
6. mouse becomes text cursor, as expected.

Can you post some exact steps to reproduce your issue.

Never mind I think I follow the issue, it's when the mouse re-enters a kitty window after leaving it, correct?

yes, exactly

[HUMORCE]

The first step is making mouse cursor to Text cursor(I), on another program (e.g. inputbox on browser)
