Cursor sometimes disappears immediately after movement

The extension works really well so far, thank you! :)
But it seems, the 5 seconds are not always counted correctly:
Sometimes the cursor disappears immediately after the movement and sometimes after just one second.
You're welcome. It was really the one thing I was missing when switching to Wayland.
I thought I've noticed that too but I didn't look systematically, so thanks for the confirmation.
I think there's a flaw relating to linking the code that sets the 5 second timer with the code that hides the cursor. As I have very minimal javascript skills, I haven't thought of a better idea however. I am very open to collaboration or suggestions however :-)
The problem is that the status is checked after every 5 seconds. If it checks at 10 and you stop moving your cursor at 14, then only 1 second will be elapsed when it checks again at 15 again and the cursor disappears.
I have made an attempt to fix this in #3 by introducing 2 callbacks instead: one checks every second for the status and the other resets the clock on every cursor move. Let's test how it goes then.
@iago-lito Thanks for working on this. What you describe better articulates what I thought was happening but lack the knowledge to fix.
I tried your version but it will not enable for me with the error
ReferenceError: tracker is not defined
(For the record I tested on Ubuntu Oracular with GNOME 47 beta 1).
Yupe, sorry @elcste there are a few dummy mistakes in there yet because I'm not exactly confident how to try the extension without restarting my whole session so I haven't tested it at all. I'll tell you when I'm happy with it :)
[EDIT] Should be working now (at least it does on my side ;)
Thanks to @iago-lito's contribution, seems to be solved with 6dfe743!
Created a release here and submitted to EGO for review.
It is live on EGO.
I realize I never tested myself on GNOME 45, only 46 and (the pre-release of) 47. I've made the new version active for 45 but I will reactivate the old version or something if someone reports an issue.
