PSA: Fixing the "stuck in mouse cursor mode" bug

I don't know if it's common knowledge or not since I've been on console for a long time now. I'd been noticing that every now and then I'd get stuck with the mouse cursor up and nothing would get rid of it. Turns out it's triggering when I do something that would normally trigger the mouse cursor while I have the UI turned off. Normally it's just trying to do emotes or type a message out of habit without realizing I still have the UI off after taking a screenshot.

The good news is, you can easily fix it by right clicking someone in chat and selecting whisper. You can then hit enter or escape on the blank message and the mouse control returns to normal. It's a minor thing but I figured it was worth sharing. The thread I found about the bug was from over a year ago and offered no solution.
