What happened?

When trying to login to Win11 client machine with Barrier, it takes 3 times before the KVM works as intended.

clicking or typing while the Win11 client is locked sends focus back to Mac server, then it takes 2-3 seconds before Barrier enables itself again so I can go back and type the password for the Win11 machine, and finally after logging in the same behavior happens again until the connection is re-established and it finally works as intended, until the Win11 machine is locked.

Version

v2.4.0
