What happened?

Hi, I have an external monitor connected to the laptop (server), and it's configured to be on top of the laptop screen. If in the Barrier I configure the client PC to be on the left to the server, it works fine. But if I configure it on the right, which is how I intended , I can't control the client PC. But if I change the settings on the server's secondary screen and put it elsewhere, I can already have the client PC on the right side of the Server.
I'm currently on version 2.3.4 because with version 2.4.0 I have this problem.

I have this same exact issue.
Server: Linux
Client: Linux

If the Client is placed in the left of the server, the mouse gets stuck while moving it to the right, but if i place the client in the right of the server it works perfect.

Doesn't Work:
[Server Monitor 2]-[Server Monitor 1]-[Client Monitor 1]
-------------------------[Server Monitor 3]
Works:
[Client Monitor 1]-[Server Monitor 2]-[Server Monitor 1]
-------------------------------------------------[Server Monitor 3]
