[BUG REPORT] Desktop Mate Interferes with Mouse Cursor During Games
Summary:
Running Desktop Mate while playing games that require mouse precision causes the cursor to behave abnormally.
Instead of the crosshair staying fixed to the center (as expected in FPS or aiming-based games), the Desktop Mate application seems to force the mouse to move around on-screen, even if the game is supposed to lock the cursor. This creates a major issue when trying to aim or maintain accuracy.

How to Reproduce:

Install and run Desktop Mate (infiniteloop version).

Launch a game that uses a fixed crosshair (I tested in Roblox Weaponry, also tested on FPS games in the cloud).

Notice that the mouse randomly shifts or moves, making aiming nearly impossible.

Expected Behavior:
Mouse should stay locked to the center (crosshair) and not be influenced by external desktop overlays or programs.

Actual Behavior:
Mouse is "pushed" or "dragged" randomly by Desktop Mate actions, breaking gameplay.

Possible Workarounds:

Closing Desktop Mate during gameplay (NOT ideal for those wanting it active while streaming or multitasking).

Asking the dev to implement a "Game Mode" where it auto-pauses during fullscreen apps. (optional but not necessary)

Final Thoughts:
Desktop Mate is cute and fun... but it's gotta stay in its lane when I'm trying to get those headshots, man.
Would love if the dev could add a fix or toggle to prevent it from interfering with mouse input during games.
