System Information
Operating system: macOS Monterey 12.1
Graphics card: Apple \M1

Blender Version
Broken: master, 3.0.0, 2.93, 2.92
Worked: 2.83.17 (fb67495c7feb)

Short description of error

The 3D cursor surface projection is placing the cursor onto hidden faces when Orientation: Geometry is the chosen mode, but only when using the 3D cursor tool with left click.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open the default Blender startup file.
Go into edit mode on the default cube.
Select one face and hide it [hotkey: H].
Switch to the Cursor tool [shift+space, space].
Select ✓ Surface Project and Orientation: Geometry.
Left-click somewhere on the hidden face.

The cursor is placed as if the hidden face was visible.

I expect it to ignore the hidden face and be placed somewhere behind, just as described in this related report: #70606

In fact it works as expected when using shift+rightclick (with any tool). The left click function of the dedicated cursor tool seems to have not received the earlier fixes, unless I'm misunderstanding something. If this discrepancy is intended then it is not clear to me why (sorry).

Edit: the shift+rightclick function uses the Orientation: View setting regardless of the selection in the cursor tool, so that must explain why it does not exhibit the same behavior.
