Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/256

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 7 Professional (Version 6.1 Build 7601: SP1)

Client: Arch Linux (Kernel 4.20.8-arch1-1-ARCH)

gnome-shell 1:3.30.2-1
xorg-server 1.20.3-1
wayland 1.16.0-1

Barrier Version

2.2.0 on Linux, 2.1.0 on Windows (that's the latest pre-built version)

Steps to reproduce bug

Start barrier on both machines
Move mouse to Linux machine
Mouse pointer on Linux stays where it is, but I can click buttons, mark text etc. with it.

Other info

This occurs with the latest version of Synergy, too
The keyboard feature works fine
No workaround
This, obviously, prevents me from using barrier entirely
Log output of the Linux instance

Okay, I'm confused. I just read that Wayland isn't supported (but it works... almost?) but I have used this setup for months, and I'm pretty sure it ran Wayland back then, too. Maybe Wayland was updated, and that broke some connection to the Xserver. Just speculating.

We've never had purposeful wayland support to my knowledge, if it did work, that was an accident.
