Describe the bug
I have two Linux machines which I use barrier on. The barrier server runs 2.3.2 and the client was running 2.1.2 yesterday but was upgraded to 2.3.2 today. As of that upgrade, I can no longer move the mouse from the primary display to the secondary display on the client. Well, it does move to the secondary display, but gets stuck at very edge of the display where it is moved onto and can only be moved vertically along that edge and no further horizontally.

To illustrate:

+---------+    +---------+---------+
|         |    |         |         |
|    1    |    |    2    |    3    |  
|         |    |         |         |
+---------+    +---------+---------+

1: barrier server
2/3: barrier client with 2 screens

Mouse moves right from 1 to 2 successfully and moves from 2 to 3, but only to the very left edge of 3.

To Reproduce
Should be fairly obvious from the picture above.

Expected behavior
Mouse pointer should be movable onto any place screen 3.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Linux on both 1 and 2/3
Barrier version 2.3.2 on both

Additional context
The above scenario worked on 2/3 when it was 2.1.2 but broke when upgrading to 2.3.2. Downgrading 2/3 back to 2.1.2 made mouse pointer movement on screen 3 work again.
