Regarding the Appium/Selenium 4 issue where complex mouse actions fail with the error: 'Currently only pen and touch pointer input source types are supported.'
Is there any official word, roadmap, or technical insight available on whether the Appium or Selenium teams plan to restore reliable Mouse Input support for desktop drivers (like WinAppDriver) within the W3C protocol, or if this limitation is now a permanent fixture?
