Whenever a new gui is opened, instead of the cursor being placed in the centre of the screen, the cursor is placed at the location where it was left when the last gui was closed. I am unsure if this is intended behaviour or not, but as the java version of minecraft always recenters the cursor, I'm assuming it's unintended. It also causes a minor annoyance, as the cursor must be found before moving it to the desired location, as it's starting position changes each time.
As far as I can tell, every gui in the game is affected by this, such as the inventory, chests, brewing stands etc. As well as this, the game menu and title screen are affected.
I've also found that if the cursor is misplaced, and then the Minecraft window is unselected/minimised, upon the opening of the minecraft window again, the cursor is recentered.

Still an issue in 0.15.1. As a bit of extra detail, before moving the mouse, the cursor appears as the default windows arrow cursor overlaying the in-game minecraft cursor. As soon as it's moved, the windows cursor disappears
It's weird because on Education Edition it's recentred when opening a new GUI, which is essentially the same base game as Bedrock
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.
Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.

I can't reproduce this on my machine, the cursor is always set to the middle when opening an interface for me.
