What happened?

I'm running barrier on two macOS machines (Mac Pro server, MacBook Pro client). I have the server hooked up to two staggered monitors like so:

I have my client positioned below my server, so I should be using the bottom screen edges on both screens to enter the client. Currently, I can only use the bottom edge of the right-hand monitor to enter the client. When I try to use the bottom edge of the first monitor, it doesn't log any output. When I use the top edge of the client to move back to the server, my mouse cursor appears on the primary monitor.

I also tested version v2.3.4 and this issue is present.

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

I installed Barrier from the github release.

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

macOS

What OS versions are you using?

MacOS Big Sur for both machines.

Relevant log output

No response

Any other information

When both monitors have the same bottom edge, I'm able to transition to the client fine. When the secondary monitor's bottom edge is raised above the primary's, the secondary monitor's bottom edge won't transfer to the client machine.
