In VR, via Steam Link/Steam VR (using either Quest 3 or PfD MR). once in a plane cockpit (any plane), the mouse cursor is supposed to be able to slide across the 3D surfaces of the aircraft cockpit so the user can smoothly go to the controls or knobs or buttons that they need to turn or adjust or move (this is how it works under Windows 11 on the same PC, same versions, etc.).
However, in MSFS2024 with Proton-Experimental, the mouse cursor keeps getting stuck on invisible "walls" and it is extremely difficult (or even impossible) to move the cursor to the desired button or knob. A "workaround" is to move the mouse in circles at high speed like a maniac and hope the cursor ends up close to the desired button or knob. Another workaround is to use VR controllers instead, but this is less precise and is actually quite hard to manipulate knobs.
Reproduction
Launch Steam VR and connect to it from a VR headset (Steam Frame? :D) over Steam Link
Launch MSFS2024
Click the Start button
Use the Ctl+Tab keyboard shortcut to switch to VR
select Free flight. Select any aircraft (Cessna 172 works) and any airport and start a flight
Click the "ready" button. You are now in the cockpit.
Attempt to move the mouse around. You should hit invisible "walls" all over the place (vs perfectly smooth under Windows)
