Can't see fire reticule and can't fire gun.

[Lamandus]

Describe the bug

When I use a weapon and want to fire it, no aiming reticule is showing, the enemy isn't aimed at and I can't even (blindly) aim at the enemy

Steps To Reproduce

Take a gun and try to shoot at something.

Expected behavior

Well, it should work like before!

Additional context

happening here too on latest experimental. I also noticed using < and > while aiming and 3d fov is enabled moves the (invisible) cursor up or down levels, but the view stays on the current level so you can't see where you're aiming there either

[emptytriangle]

it looks like a lot of other UI elements aren't being drawn also. When you use E to examine something, usually it shows a highlight reticule when there is more than one thing to examine. That's not being drawn. Also when you attack a zombie or get damaged you don't see attack or damage graphics or equipment damage indicators.

It worked with 11232. So #45815 is sus

[Zakzimus]

Yea, having the same issue with 'e' and aiming. The only reticule that shows up is when you use the 'x' look.

Lamandus is right, it's #45815
As for why, I'm not sure. Where the cursor ends up shouldn't have any effect, but apparently it does.

[anothersimulacrum]

The problem lies somewhere on the SDL side (init_draw_cursor and whatever is done after that), it works fine in curses.

Someone should probably test that this works (I can't imagine it doesn't, but it's worth it to be cautious), however, this should solve it:

 void game::draw_panels( bool force_draw )

It effectively reverts #45815 for tiles builds.
Anyone is free to PR this, if not I'll do so in several hours.
