Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/786

Operating Systems

Server: mojave

Client: mojave

On the server i can use the keyboard and mouse just fine since they are connected to USB C, however i cant use the keyboard on the client. My server is a macbook pro in closed lid mode with external keybaord , monitor, and mouse, and my client is a mac pro connected to a different display.

Barrier Version

1.9.π

Steps to reproduce bug

setup client and server
close lid on macbook pro and connect external keyboard, mouse and display.
mouse and keyboard work fine on server
move mouse over the other display/client
Attempt to type something in any application or the finder

Other info

When did the problem start to occur? When I installed and set up Barrier
Is there a way to work around it? No
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? Mmmm i can check some things with the mouse but i need a keybaord for full operation on the client.
