Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/2034

What happened?

I have two computers configured as such:

Server: Ubuntu 22.04
Client: Window 11 or MACOS

When I configure the server to have the client to the RIGHT, the mouse and keyboard will travel to the client and everything works fine, when I configure the client to the LEFT, ABOVE, or BELOW, the mouse can't switch. it gets stopped by the side of the screen.

This is a server issue. when I configure my mac client, the same error persists: On the right I can use the software, but on the LEFT the mouse won't switch. I even configured the client "above" and "below" the server in the interactive setup, but it doesn't work either. It will only switch if the client is to the "right" of the server

I don't know what the problem was, but it resolved itself after a reboot.
