Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/333

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Version1809 (SO compilation 1776.503)

Client: Windows 10 Version1809 (SO compilation 17763.437)

Barrier Version

2.1.0-RELEASE-0b2dfd80

Steps to reproduce bug

I connect the client with the server using 'Auto config' and wait until the log reads that the computers are connected (I don't even know how to get the computers connected everytime)

After somehow achieving the connection I move the mouse from the server to the client, but on the first attempts the mouse bounces back when reaching the side of the screen.

After a few tries the log on both computers say "enter screen" and "leave sceen" respectively, but I don't see the mouse everywhere on the client screen.

I right click and get the menu right on the edge of the client's screen, but mouse is stuck there.

(Keyboard works alright on the client. I manage to test this using arrow keys)

I´m able to return the mouse to the server, but I'm unabe to use it on the client

Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like the server has a high DPI setting which doesn't work correctly in 2.1.0. Try installing a more recent release.

I'm having a similar issue here, but with a Windows/Mac server/client setup. When I connect my external display to my server and then try to move from the external display left to the client, the cursor gets stuck in the top left.

Not sure what to do since there's no 2.2.0 release for OSX.

@infinitempg that's a different problem. Try restarting the server after connecting the new display. If that doesn't fix it, open a new issue.

@noisyshape I managed to solve it by downgrading my Windows server down to 2.1.0.

For me it was fixed by building and using the 2.2 linux client
