What happened?

Machines Kubuntu (Server), Windows (client)
The app is working fine and I'm able to use my mouse and keyboard on my client device without any hickups and when I move my cursor towards my Windows Client, it switches my mouse and keyboard.
But the problem is my keyboard do not disconnect from server, instead it keeps connected to server and after moving my cursor to Client, keyboard gets connected with client as well.

So, when I press any key on my keyboard both of my machines are receiving the inputs, which should not be the case. I checked every setting in the app but couldn't find any option to resolve this issue.

Please help
