Mouse disappears and very hard to get it back after we stop or pause playing Apple TV in Mac

Recently I have updated my OS from Mojave to Catalina.

Just got curious and clicked on Apple TV and started playing some trailer to see how it looks and feel. It was great but I had to stop the trailer in the middle as I got some other important work and I did not allow it to complete. After this step was done mouse cursor is not seen. Luckily I had the hot corner setup and took my mouse to extreme top left and then I somehow clicked Quit Apple TV only then I could get back my mouse back.

Serious bug. Needs to be fixed.

Is there any hack to get back the mouse cursor easily?

Yea, its very annoing. But found quite simple workaround.

Click ESC to back from full screen. Then goes with this invisible mouse very high and very left to be in top-left corner and just click....and the mouse cursor is back :) ...you are now in main menu with apple icon.

probably there are better possibilities, but this just found accidentaly and works

PS This TV app is like a beta version for me. to hard to find interesting video to watch. Much work, much....but may be the best VOD in future.
