Same here.
When clicking on the (Ubuntu 22.04) client screen you can see the focus moves away from the previously focused window. But that's it. The mouse pointer doesn't move.

When a window on the (Ubuntu 22.04) client has focus and you move the mouse onto that screen, keyboard input has no effect at all.

However: when you copy text on the Windows server, move the mouse to the (Ubuntu 22.04) client and use a mouse that's actually attached to the client PC to paste the contents of the clipboard, that does work!

Same here, can confirm this error - and that downgrading to 2.3.4 helps.
