It happens to me too. But when I set the system scale to 100% everything is correct.

Yes, but my screen is small and I can't see clearly if it isn't set higher.

See #1713

Windows 2.3.4 works fine as server for me.

Is my explanation unclear ? What you redirected me to isn't the same issue, mainly that this issue occurs by somehow just having barrier installed. I wasn't running it, and uninstalling barrier fixed it. Describing the issue itself is harder because it's unusual, my mouse got stuck on an invisible edge onscreen on the same computer, not across desktop screens all while barrier wasn't active and was installed. My mouse was able to pass this line if I forced my mouse across my mouse pad quicker and it happened both while trying to move the mouse up and down.

I found a better solution for the scaling issue of #1713 and this #1894. Yes the problem is the scaling, but instead of scaling your 4K monitor to get the larger screen, you can change the resolution down to 2560x1440. It is the same size as having the scaling at 150% but it also allows Barrier 2.4.0 to work. I would rather the scaling issue be fixed, but at least there is another workaround.

I had similar issues with the newer release, but it looks like you were already on 2.3.4 so I'm not sure what's causing your issue. This is probably not a direct duplicate of #1713 but it sounds like it's still related to resolution scaling on windows.

Same problem here.
Used the workaround of changing the resolution until the issue will be resolved.

So, I'll reinstall and try it ( It should have a different number ).
