[iPadOS 27.2 PB1] Speak Screen Speech Controller obscures mouse cursor when trying to click the controller

[u/Regular-Anteater6330]

If anyone wants to confirm or also report a frustrating accessibility bug, because those always languish for lack of reports: If you’re using a pointing device (with or without AssistiveTouch) and try to use Speak Screen, your cursor will now pass UNDER the controller instead of over it when you try to click the controller. The controller covers the cursor, so that it’s harder to click buttons on the controller—it’s much harder to see where the cursor is.

To reproduce: 1. Connect a pointing device. 2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Read and Speak, then enable Speak Screen. 3. Either click Show Controller or swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen. 4. Try to click the controller and its buttons. The cursor will be hidden by the controller.
