Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/957

When "Clipboard Sharing" is enabled and a large amount of data is in the clipboard (such as an image) the cursor will rapidly flick back and forth between the two devices, often being entirely unable to go to the other device at all.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have clipboard sharing enabled
Store a large amount of data in the clipboard (for me the issue starts to present at around 2MB and affects when above 4MB)
Try to move cursor to another computer
See error

Expected behavior
Smooth transition to the other PC, or at the very least no locking up

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10 and Linux Mint
Barrier version 2.3.3

Additional context

Identical to issue #775 which was closed due to inactivity without being reviewed but is still an issue so probably shouldn't be closed.

I am also seeing this issue. Server is a Raspberry Pi 4, when I have an image in the clipboard and I move over to another screen (in this case a Linux Mint laptop) it will occasionally completely freeze up. I effectively lose the mouse on the server and have to reboot.
