Mouse pointer is hidden by KDE taskbar (Panel) in recordings, but not while recording #961

  1. Start a recording with the checkbox "Record cursor" checked.
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the KDE taskbar (panel). The cursor passes OVER the taskbar and stays visible.
  3. Save the video and play the video.
  4. In the video, the mouse cursor passes BEHIND the taskbar and becomes invisible. It should appear in front of the taskbar.

See attached video. The mouse pointer passed in front of the taskbar while I recorded it, but as you can see, the video shows the mouse pointer behind the taskbar. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4689691/171058433-88ee90b1-c01d-4cda-a47d-2a6e24f2b492.mp4

The KDE Taskbar settings are set to "Always Visible" so windows pass behind it, but the mouse pointer always passes in front of it, even with this setting. Panel_Settings

Changing the taskbar visibility to "Windows Can Cover" makes SimpleScreenRecorder behave properly. But this should not be necessary because the mouse pointer always passes in front of the taskbar in all taskbar modes.
