What's Wrong?

After switching TUI renderer with /tui fullscreen or /tui default, the cursor disappears completely from the screen.
It can only be found by pressing arrow keys — it has jumped to the bottom-right corner of the terminal.
Additionally, mouse wheel scrolling stops working in fullscreen mode after the switch (it works fine before any /tui command is issued).

What Should Happen?

Cursor should remain at the input prompt after mode switch. Mouse wheel scrolling should continue to work in fullscreen mode after switching.
