Description

macOS version: 10.13.6 Kap version: 3.0.0 & 3.0.1

Steps to reproduce

Install Kap on 10.13, open Preferences or capture a clip.

Current behaviour

Mouse click highlighting (highlightClicks) does not work - clicks are not displayed in the video. 'Show cursor' option is not even displayed in Preferences (cmd+,). However, it is present on macOS 10.15.2, so this bug seems to be OS-specific.

Expected behaviour

Option to show cursor should be present in Preferences. Mouse clicks should be visible in captured videos.

Workaround

Upgrade macOS to 10.15 (Tried configuring 'highlightClicks' option manually in ~/Library/Preferences/com.wulkano.kap.plist, but it didn't work.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the highlightClicks feature and why it is missing on macOS 10.13. Check the code that conditionally enables 'Show cursor' in Preferences, and trace the OS version check or feature flag that might be disabling it.
