Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/895

Describe the bug
Mouse not moving from server to client. Mouse can move from client to server, or server to client if the hotkey I setup is used.

To Reproduce

Configure barrier
Move mouse to edge of screen
Notice nothing in log file

Expected behavior
Mouse moves to other screen

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: both Windows 10
Barrier version 2.3.3, fresh installs (though the server was a reinstall just in case that would fix it and it did not)

Additional context
Log file on client does the usual:
[2020-10-01T18:50:17] INFO: leaving screen
[2020-10-01T18:50:20] INFO: entering screen

Log file on server is silent unless I do the hotkey, then it correctly switches.
The computers are not setup for auto config and the client didn't add itself to the server config so I did it manually by copy/pasting the name to make sure it was the same

Actually may have just found the issue. Always happens after I make the post. My right-hand monitor on the server is a lower resolution, so I moved the client to the other side (which is not how they are physically) and it works. Maybe that's a feature that can be added, idk
