There's a known issue with Dosbox on Mint where the mouse cursor doesn't lock/doesn't do anything inside of the Dosbox window. Pressing CTRL+F10 does nothing either. I saw on the Dosbox website there's a patch that fixes that. The file itself is a .diff file. So I'm completely unsure of how to use the patch to fix the mouse locking. If you can help me out, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can you link the patch? The website should say what version is this patch for.

In any case, you'd need to have the correct version of the source code, run 'git apply patch.diff' in it and then compile.

If you're unsure how these things work, I strongly recommend checking out dosbox-staging which solves a ton of mouse/fullscreen related issues (at least for me).
