If we're talking about the cursor image moving or not, the cursor will hide
on other platform if touch event comes int. The cursor position doesn't
matter if there's no visual feedback (hover event).

As for mouse.pos(), this should always be updated, for example there are
application use mouse position to implement visual drag'n'drop.
