Delay when placing cursor with mouse click #7601
Description
Describe the bug
There is a noticeable delay between clicking the mouse to place the cursor and the cursor actually moving to the clicked position.
To Reproduce
- Open Kitty terminal.
- Start typing in the terminal.
- Use the mouse to click on a specific position within the command line.
- Observe the delay before the cursor moves to the clicked position. During this delay, any keys inputted are added at the old cursor position instead of the intended new position.

As you can see when I keep spamming 2 after a left mouse button click, there's about half a second delay until mouse event is actually handled.
Screenshots
None.
