Legacy GM mouse movement collision issue

[Amazing creature]

The player is controlled with the mouse, if it collides with a wall it stops like it should, but then I cant move it for some reason, it stays stuck.

obj_mouse:
step

x = mouse_x
y = mouse_y

obj_player
step

if x < obj_mouse.x
{
   if !place_meeting(x-1,y,obj_solid)
   {
   x += 10
   }
}
if x > obj_mouse.x
{
   if !place_meeting(x+1,y,obj_solid)
   {
   show_debug_message("it works")
   x -= 10
   }
}

Do you know how the code you've written works?
If you move 10 pixels a step, you should also check ahead 10 pixels and also in the direction of movement.

if x < obj_mouse.x
{
   if !place_meeting(x+10,y,obj_solid)
   {
   x += 10
   }
}
if x > obj_mouse.x
{
   if !place_meeting(x-10,y,obj_solid)
   {
   show_debug_message("it works")
   x -= 10
   }
}

This is the unsmoothed version.
