What happened?

2.3.3. worked okay in this regard. 2.4.0 connects fine, but as soon as I move into the client screen the cursor drops into the lower right corner of the Mac screen and is unmovable after that. I have to go to the client input device and stop Barrier to get my Windows cursor back.

Having same issue with v2.4 server on Windows 11 Build 22000.
Downgrade server to v2.3.4 fixed the issue for me. Client Mac running v2.4 fine.

Can confirm I'm having the same issue running v2.4 server on Windows 11 Dev Build 22543, MacOS 12.3 v2.4 client.
Was able to get working by downgrading Windows 11 server to v2.3.4 but kept client v2.4 on MacOS 12.3

I got the same situation. It happens when the display scale of server Windows PC is not 100%. (it's fine if the scale is 100%).

Thank you. I can confirm that if the scale gets adjusted from currently 200% back to 100% on my Windows 10 21H2 desktop, the barrier works again!

Very likely there is a bug about the scaled display of Windows!
