Research direction
Search the Java codebase for key event handling related to the pointer tool and Space key. The bug likely involves modifier key state not being cleared when Space is released. Look for input listeners or keyboard handlers that control pointer visibility. Verify the fix by reproducing the steps: press Space, then Alt, release Space, and confirm the pointer hides.

Description
Describe the Bug
When pressing Space, a pointer is shown on screen to all players, and it hides again when Space is released. But if modifier key such as Alt is pressed before releasing Space, then the pointer stays showing on screen.
To Reproduce
- Open a campaign and select the pointer tool.
- With the mouse over the map, press and hold Space. The blue arrow pointer should show on screen.
- While continuing to press Space, also press and hold Alt.
- Release Space while continuing to press Alt. The pointer will remain on screen.
- Release Alt. The pointer will remain on screen.
- Press and release Space. The pointer will now hide.
Expected Behaviour
The pointer should only show as long as the space key is held.
