[Bug 1544754] [NEW] HTML5 DosBox emulator can't grab mouse pointer

 

Public bug reported:

The internet archive just released a collection of Win 3.1 games, using the DosBox emulator to run them on the website. On Chrome this triggers a "Allow/Deny archive.org to disable your mouse cursor" popup. Games are only playable using mouse or touch after accepting this.
In the browser app/ Oxide there's no such popup and mouse input doesn't work.
