I don't really know what it does exactly, depending maybe on the windowing
system and other settings, but you can give it a try.

That checkbox was not checked on my system. Once I checked it and
restarted mythfrontend, the mouse was still visible until you touched it
then it disappeared and did not appear again even if you moved the mouse.
That is different from an unchecked box. This system is Debian 12 with KDE
Plasma Wayland. I launch mythfrontend with --platform xcb options.
