The capture helper now reports the filter content rect as the capture frame on macOS 14 and later, and keeps the source frame only on macOS 13. Window recordings, including windows chosen in Apple's picker, seed normalization from the source frame before the first cursor sample, then replace it with the helper's capture bounds and rebase samples already stored. Display recordings keep normalizing against the display bounds. Fixes getopenscreen#1130

Explanation
Issue
#1130requires the recorded pointer to align with the native pointer. The macOS helper now reports the captured content frame for macOS 14 and later. Window recordings seed the source frame, apply authoritative capture bounds, and rebase stored samples. Display recordings retain display bounds. The session stores raw screen points for rebasing. Targeted tests cover window, picker, fallback, and rebasing behavior.

Implement updateCaptureBounds on MacNativeCursorRecordingSession.
electron/ipc/handlers.ts invokes this method optionally, but MacNativeCursorRecordingSession does not implement it. The call therefore does nothing. Samples collected before the helper reports the capture bounds are not rebased. The test also calls the missing method directly.
Add the method to update the active bounds, rebase stored samples, and use the new bounds for later samples.

Tried this branch on macOS 26.3 (MacBook Air 15", 1710x1107) and the pointer was still drawn above my clicks when I recorded a Safari window picked through Apple's picker. Two things I found:

Thanks for tackling #1130. Two blockers:
updateCaptureBoundsis called inhandlers.tsbut never implemented:MacNativeCursorRecordingSessionand theCursorRecordingSessioninterface don't have it. The optional call compiles to nothing at runtime, the new "rebases samples…" test fails withsession.updateCaptureBounds is not a function, and samples taken before the helper reports its bounds are never rebased.- For a window chosen in Apple's picker,
filter.contentRectis not the window's on-screen origin. @Lasserich measured y=80 against y=34 in CGWindowList on macOS 26.3, so the pointer is still 46 pt too high.
@Lasserich posted two commits on top of this branch that fix both (implementation of updateCaptureBounds, and kCGWindowBounds by window id for window captures). Could you pull them in? CI is now approved on this branch. Once these are in, we will test on Apple Silicon.
…icked windows Implement updateCaptureBounds on MacNativeCursorRecordingSession (optional on CursorRecordingSession). Samples recorded before the helper reports its bounds are rebased onto them, and later samples use the new bounds. For a one-window capture filter on macOS 15.2+, take the capture frame from kCGWindowBounds by window id instead of filter.contentRect, which sits below the window's on-screen origin for a window chosen in Apple's picker.

Recalculate visibility when rebasing samples.
If three early samples fall above the seeded window frame but inside the helper’s corrected frame, captureSample marks them invisible. This loop corrects cx and cy but leaves visible false. Recalculate each sample’s visibility and the current outside-sample streak against the new bounds.

Both are fixed in 4cd7fb4, which also merges current main into the branch.
I made both changes directly on this branch rather than cherry-picking Lasserich's commits. On the merged tree, npm run lint, npx tsc --noEmit, npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit, npx vite build, npm run test and swift test all pass. |

Thank you for working on this fix! I have also experienced the cursor appearing above the actual click position in rendered recordings on macOS with OpenScreen 2.1.1. This makes tutorial videos confusing because the pointer appears to miss the button or field that is actually being clicked. I would really appreciate seeing this fix included in a packaged release once it is ready. Thank you to everyone contributing to OpenScreen! |

Summary
On macOS, the pointer drawn on a recording sits above the place that was actually clicked, so the click looks like it landed outside a field or off a button. In a window capture the pointer never lines up with the control that received the click. Cursor positions are global screen points normalized against a frame reported separately from the pixels ScreenCaptureKit writes. On macOS 26 that frame was the window rectangle, or the rectangle stored with a system-picker choice, and that rectangle sits below the filter content rect the output buffer is sized from, so the pointer is drawn above the click. Window takes also left the display bounds or the picker frame in charge: picker window ids never switched to the recorded rect, and samples taken before the helper reported bounds stayed on the wrong origin.
The capture helper now reports the filter content rect as the capture frame on macOS 14 and later, and keeps the source frame only on macOS 13. Window recordings, including windows chosen in Apple's picker, seed normalization from the source frame before the first cursor sample, then replace it with the helper's capture bounds and rebase samples already stored. Display recordings keep normalizing against the display bounds.
