What happened?

I've been using this with MacOS for some time, but this morning the mouse just sticks to the left side of the screen on my Mac and won't move to the right. I also can't get it to move past the upper left corner of either Mac display (I have two - a Dell monitor and the Macbook's built-in Retina display). I can move the mouse down to the bottom of the Retina display, but then can't move it up to the Dell (which is above the Retina display). If I don't move it all the way down to the laptop screen, I can't move it above the left corner on the Dell display (I'm configured to move down from my Linux host's display to get to the Mac).

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

@hendersj commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2022):

This was caused by a bug in the Wacom tablet configuration in GNOME (for anyone who runs into this and has a Wacom tablet, make sure that you're not mapping the tablet to a single display - even if that is disabled in the configuration, it will prevent Barrier from working properly).
