Describe the bug
When using macos as the server and BetterTouchTool to simulate the middle click via gesture (three-finger click is how I am using it) the middle click is not sent to the client. I have a special haptic feedback configured in BetterTouchTool for this gesture so I know that BetterTouchTool is detecting the three-finger click correctly but for some reason it is not being sent to the client correctly.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Set up BetterTouchTool on macos that is being used as the server
Setup a middle-click gesture in BetterTouchTool
Try to use the middle-click gesture in a client system

Expected behavior
I would expect the middle-click signal to be passed to the client.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: macos Big Sur (same behavior was present in Catalina)
Barrier version: 2.3.3-release-3395cca9

Addition Context:
Have tried with clients on Linux and Windows 10

I have the same behavior exactly, although I think the middle click does not work only for Chrome (it does not close the tab)
