Mouse clicks do not reach in-stream overlay controls (ABXY / More Options) while pointer lock is active #620

Description

@ap0ught

Summary

In controller mode / big picture sessions, the GeForce NOW in-stream overlay shows gamepad-style controls (Select A, Back B, Filter Y, Search X, More Options), but mouse clicks no longer reach those buttons. This makes the overlay effectively controller-only while the stream is running.

Expected

User should be able to click the on-screen overlay action buttons with the mouse during a controller-mode stream.

Observed

Once pointer lock / stream input capture is active, mouse events appear to be swallowed by capture and do not click the overlay controls. The buttons render, but are not clickable with a mouse.

Likely cause

  • Gamepad-forwarding + pointer-lock path only forwards input to the remote session.
  • Local overlay buttons are rendered on top of the stream, but mouse clicks never reach them while capture is active.

Acceptance criteria

  • Overlay buttons remain clickable with the mouse during an active controller-mode session.
  • Gamepad behavior is unchanged (controller input still reaches the remote session as before).
  • Pointer-lock toggle shortcut (F8) still works.
  • No regression in non-controller mode.
