It happens in multiple games and games-a-like software.

Major issue that makes Barrier unusable for gaming. Can we get a fix for this?

Still happening for me, can this please be looked at? I need to fully exit Barrier to prevent this. OS is Linux so this seems to be an OS-agnostic issue.

Still happening till this day and can confirm it happens on windows as well so i don't think it's related to the OS used

Follow-up on this: I moved to Input Leap which is actively maintained, but the bug still happens there as well. Just an FYI for those who aren't aware that barrier is deprecated and Input Leap is the new app.

As well as Input Leap, you may want to look at Deskflow, which currently has the most activity.

It's compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers.

If this is still an issue in Deskflow, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.

Should we use Input Leap or Deskflow? The 'Insights' tab of each project may help you decide.
