swaylock shows cursor

[MichaelAquilina]

When the screen has been locked with swaylock, the cusor still remains on the screen (but cant be moved).

From this release issue on sway swaywm/sway#1735 I thought I could use the hide_cursor feature mentioned to work round this issue. But it seems like it might have been removed before sway 1.0 was released because I cant seem to find it in the man page or get it working with swaymsg

Might be related to #32 but the cursor does not dissappear once moved like mentioned there.

I have a related issue where the cursor is shown, and can be moved; because the mouse is connected to the monitor which I shut off typically when I lock the screen, and when that monitor shuts off, so does the built-in USB hub.

I have the same issue using swaylock version 1.7.2 on Fedora 39. The cursor remain visible after running the swaylock command, but it disappears as soon as I move the mouse a little bit.
