hovering the mouse focuses options on the launcher

[PrayagS]

The title may be a bit confusing. Please find a GIF below,

Upon opening the launcher, hovering the mouse is tracked and the options are focused.

Even when I don't hover, before opening the launcher, if the mouse happened to be at a height that's adjacent to the launcher, it focuses that option automatically.

It leads to a bad experience for me because when I type to find, it focuses the intended option but then it focuses back on the option that's being focused by the cursor. It keeps on flapping until I manually move the cursor out of the way.

My setup,

• OS/compositor: macOS 15.2
• Wezterm version: Happening on both stable (20240203-110809-5046fc22) and nightly (20241205-083533-6f375e29).

I looked at the docs but didn't find any relevant options that would affect this behavior. disable_default_mouse_bindings also doesn't affect this.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not so I didn't use the bug report template. Please let me know if any additional information is needed from my end.

I have the same issue with the InputSelector.

The issue seems less frequent when using the option hide_mouse_cursor_when_typing = false but still happen from time to time.

Yes, that's the band aid fix here. @sudo-tee What platform are you on?

@PrayagS I'm using wezterm on windows with WSL.

I use focus-follows-mouse in Windows (x-mouse, historically) -- so the mouse cursor will always be somewhere within the wezterm
window. It invariably interferes with launcher to some degree. Additionally, Alt-Tab switching moves the mouse to the center of the window, which will always highlight a launcher item.

It's OK if I can use a numbered launcher action by typing 1, 2, 3 etc. -- but still gives a jarring/annoying flash of the selector.
It's OK if I reduce (via search) the list to a single item (selection effectively disabled), or
It's OK if I reduce (via search) the list size in screen-area enough to duck/avoid the mouse.
Otherwise, mouse wins.

I tried toggling the hide_mouse_cursor_when_typing as described above by @sudo-tee but it doesn't seem to affect the launcher mode.
