cursor:no_warps causes focus to get stuck on window capturing mouse

[DerEchteJoghurt]

This was already an issue at #9075, but was closed when moving to discussions. I just tried this on the latest version of Hyprland and the problem is still present. This is mostly a copy-paste from my previous issue.

Description

When setting cursor:no_warps to true and attempting to switch focus from a window capturing the mouse (Cyberpunk 2077 in this case), the focus immediately jumps back to the game. The same happens when switching workspaces to another monitor. See attached video.
I assume this works with cursor warps because when warping the cursor, the game no longer captures the mouse?

I've used XOrg with BSPWM in the past, where switching focus detaches the mouse from the window, allowing it to be moved freely. I attached a video as reference for this as well.

How to reproduce

1. Set cursor:no_warps to true
2. Launch Cyberpunk 2077 (or any other window capturing the mouse?)
3. Try move focus with SUPER + left or changing the workspace to a workspace on another monitor
4. The focus will move back to the game immediately

I was able to reproduce this with the following config which is the auto generated one but only sets cursor:no_warps to true:
hyprland.conf

Expected behavior (XOrg with BSPWM):

you can switch the workspace I guess
