No cursor in screen capture recording in iframe, RDP apps

Reported by realgran...@gmail.com, Jun 14 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8172.47.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8172.47.0 (Official Build) stable-channel falco

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome RDP session from Google Compute Engine, or noVNC session
2. Start capture with screencastify whole screen or ChromeRDP window
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Cursor is shown everywhere consistently in the recorded video

What went wrong?
Cursor is seen everywhere except for the iframe of noVNC and ChromeRDP app - it just disappears when it hovers the area of an iframe or an app which makes screencast useless on a chromebook.. 

Did this work before? N/A

xiaoyinh@ possibly related to the other cursor issues you're investigating.

This is because mouse cursors are drawn by hardware layer (in most cases). IIRC, tab casting draws mouse cursor by itself so that streaming data has cursor in it, so we may be able to re-use it, or do something similar.

Adding a couple of folks who may know how/where.

See, e.g., https://codereview.chromium.org/1412173003 and several follow-on patches Irfan authored.

Please re-open if this is still an issue.  Cursor should be captured (at least for tab capture).
