Mouse visible on top of game

Sometimes when playing i have my cursor visible on top of the game window. I am on bazzite and Use GE proton on steam and Gamescope. Example Skyrim aniversary edition, I tried to switch my proton version (No gamescope) the cursor Is visible over the screen on all proton versions. Example Metro Redux: (with gamescope) has the desktop cursor Over the In game cursor and i go in game the character is forced to look at the ground and it can only spin. I am not good at depicting these issues as i lack Any real terminology to make this Easier to explain. So do ask further questions.

ok so was it working fine before in bazzite with the same proton version? I had a different mouse related issue in a different game called warframe where any mouse movement would be 1000x and spin the camera like crazy while gamepads were fine. thought it was gamescope first but found out it was a proton issue as going back 1 version fixed it. nvm just saw you tried to switch proton version did it work in bazzite before? in which case can you try the older boot option in grub and test that, if it works then give us the rpm-ostree status for both in the terminal also for Metro Exodus try use Proton 8.0.5 or any Proton 8 non GE its what i switched to in order to fix my issue in warframe which had the identical issue.

you can try --force-grab-cursor as an arg for gamescope for the games still being problematic
