Describe the bug
Since updating to v0.1.25, I've noticed that opening File Explorer would snap the mouse pointer to the center of the screen. This however only happens if there are no other windows currently open, if there is something already on the screen, the behaviour isn't there.

Additionally, when restoring any window from a minimised state, the same behaviour occurs again.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Part 1:

Start with an empty environment
Start Windows Explorer by any means (shortcut, search, pinned icon)
Mouse pointer is moved to the center of the screen/window

Part 2:

Start and minimise any window while Komorebi is running
Restore window, either manually or via alt-tab
Moue pointer is move to the center of the screen/window

Expected behavior
Nothing, the pointer position should not be affected by either of these things.

Operating System

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version:                10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045

komorebic check Output

KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected: C:\users\beast\.config\komorebi

Looking for configuration files in C:\users\beast\.config\komorebi

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\beast\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Additional context
I use Explorer Patcher and TranslucentTB, however for the purposes of this both were disabled and uninstalled, and I checked multiple times to confirm that the behaviour wasn't present while komorebi was off, and would begin again when komorebi was started.

Quick sanity check: is mouse follows focus enabled or disabled in your config?

I've only modified the workspace and container padding values, everything else is as provided by komorebic quickstart, so I assume it's set to whatever is default.
