Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1590

What happened?

Start the server and the client. The program works successfully. Open the browser on the server side.
Browser is not an active window: switching to the client and back is successful.
Browser is an active window: switch to the client, everything works on the client side; switch back to the server - the mouse freezes, the browser window goes to the status of "Not Responding".
Control over the mouse returns when stop Barrier on the client side.
The browser window unhangs when stop Barrier on the server side.
Tested on MS Edge, Vivaldi, Chrome. Haven't tested on non-chromium browsers.

Any other information

Tried enabling Fix Preserve Focus and disabling Drag&Drop and Clipboard sharing - doesn't help.
Browser window mode - maximized or windowed - does not affect the situation, as long as browser window is focused.

I have this problem when I am focused on the Barrier window on my server (windows 11), and I move my mouse from the client (ubuntu 22.04) to the server.
