Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/40

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 1803
Client: MacOs 10.13.3

Barrier Version

v2.1.0 on both systems

Steps to reproduce bug

Start Barrier on Windows, as Server
Start Barrier on Mac as Client
Drag Mouse from Windows to Mac
Bug occurs: The MacOS Dock pops up for a second, a cursor is not shown. If I use the Mac Mousepad, I can move the cursor, with my Windows mouse, I can not.

Other info

This problem started right when first using Barrier
I could not find a way around it
I can't use Barrier, since Mouse sharing does not work. Keyboard-Sharing and Copying still works

The client log shows the warning, that the mouse-cursor might not be visible. While it actually is not visible, it also can't be controlled, otherwise I would be able to drag the cursor back to Windows.
EDIT: I also tried different Versions of Barrier (2.0.0; 2.0.0-RC1) having the same issue

Im having similar issues. Additionally, mac cursor disappears very often.. especially if you move mac cursor with its own pointing device.

Issue #42 does seem to be the same problem as this one.
