Hide soft cursor when mouse leaves window

[not-surt]

It'd be nice if you could hide aseprite's soft cursor when the mouse leaves the window and the system cursor appears.
It's kind of ugly leaving the soft cursor behind and can be confusing when you inadvertently move the mouse off the window and what you think is the current cursor stops responding to mouse movements.
Particularly frustrating with a multi screen setup as cursor looks to still be on the screen you are looking at when it has actually moved to the neighbouring screen.

Hi @not-surt, the cursor should disappear when the mouse leaves the window, it should work on Windows and OS X, but I think there are some special cases where the cursor isn't hidden. Are you on Linux?

[not-surt]

Yes, Xubuntu 15.10 amd64.
Same result in all desktop environments I've tried: XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome.
It has been this way for as far back as I can recall.

[not-surt]

This is still occurring for me.
It does hide the cursor sometimes now however.
Seems to be about even chance that the cursor will be hidden or remain in the aseprtite window.

Does it happen when you just move the mouse and the Aseprite window is active? Or are there other situations? E.g. when you press Alt+key to change to other window, or you move the mouse over Aseprite window and it isn't the active window, etc.

Also, could you please tell me what window managers still have this problem now? I'm testing on Ubuntu 14.04 (compiz), and it looks to work just fine.

[not-surt]

Still present for me in XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome.
Window active or inactive doesn;t seem to make a difference.
Easiest way to demonstrate is move cursor from inside aseprite window up and past the titlebar.
Just now noticed that if I move the cursor out of the window very slowly then it will reliably hide, but moving faster it won't hide.

Just did a clean install of Kubuntu 16.04 Beta and built from git and this is still happening for me.

I'll push a fix for this issue in a moment.

I can confirm this is still happening, though I didn't even notice it until I read this issue.

Clarifying: The mouse disappears when moving slow or normal speeds. But when moving very quickly (especially when leaving through the titlebar), the cursor doesn't go away.

(Personally I'd mark this as low priority as it's not really a big issue and doesn't seem to be causing problems, but that's just me.)

I'll leave this for #139
