while looking around you cant move your cursor past the view border, but its not a problem if your aiming with a ranged weapon
I think it’s an intentional feature.
Can make some actions harder, though. For example, installing headlights in the night.
Unfortunate result of a bugfix (the cursor boundaries were a bit off-center) and a Feature (“Surely I can make things just a little better by limiting the cursor to the sight range!”) getting bundled in one PR. Sometimes those package deals are OK and sometimes they aren’t; this is one of the latter.
