Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/792

Operating Systems

Server: Microsoft Windows 10
Client: MacOS Catalina 10.15.5

Barrier Version

Windows: 2.3.2-snapshot-210c2b70
Mac: 2.3.2-Release-210c2b70

Steps to reproduce bug

If I happen to move the mouse off the edge while on the windows lock screen it ends up on the Mac / client screen but frozen in place (still accepts clicks though).

I have no way to get mouse or keyboard input back to the windows server to unlock the screen and am left with no choice but to do a hard reset.

Other info

I have just tried setting up a hot key to switch and also the switch on double tap option as a possible way out of the situation but neither of those seem to be doing anything even under normal conditions.
