Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/932

Describe the bug
With two machines both on Manjaro with i3wm, barrier connects just fine (connection successful, even see some messages about clipboards) but I am unable to actually use either mouse or keyboard using either machine as server.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Start server on one machine, either with barriers or through the GUI
Start client on other machine (again, either method is fine)
Configure screens to be adjacent either in conf file or through GUI configurator on server.
Move mouse to edge of screen. Mouse cannot exit screen. No way to access input on other machine.

Expected behavior
Mouse either moves to other screen or appears on both screens. Keyboard input appears on server.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Both machines on fully updated Manjaro, with i3wm on both

Update I can move the cursor from the server to the client, but not vice versa.

Sorry, I guess I was misunderstanding and this is intended? Nevermind, pretty sure that's the case. I also got confused about which is host and which is server.
