Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.18363.1256
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): commit d29d72e1e0

Steps to reproduce

  1. You'll need to be running a build of WT that includes the mouse hiding feature introduced in PR #8629.
  2. Move the mouse so it's positioned over one of the tab labels.
  3. Start typing something so the mouse cursor disappears.
  4. Try and move the mouse, but without moving off the label.

Expected behavior

The mouse cursor should reappear.

Actual behavior

The mouse cursor remains invisible until you move it onto the main output area of the window. But you can still see focus interactions, and tooltips changing, as you move over the tab controls.

Interestingly, if you move the mouse right off the WT window, it will become visible, but then moving back onto a tab will make it disappear again.
