What happened?

Hi,

I have 2 remote stations, they both launch barrierc from a script - on the server, I use barrier which allow me to choose these stations place using the graphic interface.

If I put my stations at the left and right (or up ans down) of the server, it is working ferpectly, but if I put them in diagonal of the server, nothing happens, impossible to reach a station.

NB : the server is a laptop (screen 1366×768) that also have a 24" (screen 1920×1080) that extends the display to the right, and the stations screen is also a 24" (screen 1920×1080), so obviously when going on a station that is at the right of the server, the mouse cursor is going from the server's 24" to the other 24".

This is a major PITA as I now have more stations to connect to the server (too much to be able to only use up, right, down and left only).

What is wrong ?

Version

v2.4.0
