I’ve just worked it out - I was starting the simulator at a screen size too big for my monitor, and that was stopping the entire thing from working properly.
My work monitor is 1920x1080; when I used the setting -screen 1600x900, so it was definitely a bit small than the entire screen, it worked fine.
