I'm not sure if this relate to you, but I had something similar. Found that I need to click on the "ScrLk" key on the keyboard to release the mouse freely across the monitors.

I don't have a scroll lock key on my laptop. I felt the touch screen could be an issue because, most drawing platforms (Krita) fail to get correct touch positions when a display is connected.

I encountered the same problem in the same environment. Win11 is also a laptop acting as the server.

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development. That might solve your problem.
