Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/112

Operating Systems

Server: macOS 10.13.6

Client: Windows 10 Version 1803 (Build 17134.137)

Barrier Version

2.1.0 0b2dfd80

Steps to reproduce bug

  1. Switch to client
  2. Move mouse to center and draw little circles
  3. 9 out of 10 times Mouse drifts to one side (mostly upper left corner)

Other info

  • When did the problem start to occur? Right from the start
  • Is there a way to work around it? No
  • Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? Most likely
  • Relative Mouse movement option doesn't affect it
  • Tried both usb and bluetooth mouse (magic mouse)
  • Moving mouse left / up feels right. opposite directions feel dragging.

Can anyone confirm this? My access to a mac is lacking at the moment.

I can confirm.
Server on OSX 10.13, client on Windows 10. Mouse drags to upper left corner.

Can also confirm with OS X 10.14 (Mojave) server and Windows 10 client. Also the mouse really, really wants to move up/down or left/right and not diagonal.

Same issue here. When my Mojave machine is a server, my Linux client has the mouse drag problem in two directions, but not in the other two directions. When my Linux machine is a server, my Mojave machine does not have this problem, but sadly I don't get the Mac mouse acceleration. Otherwise, it works great.

I am also having this issue https://symless.com/forums/topic/2036-mouse-on-client-moves-2x-as-fast-up-and-left/ , and also have a steel series sensei raw mouse. However switching to a logitec RX1000 also shows similar behavior only the up and left movement creep is about half of the sensei mouse. The trackpad on the server is more usable, however it too is gradually moving up and left.

Server: OSX mojave 10.14.4, sensei raw mouse and Logitech RX1000
Client OSX 10.13.6

After reading the entirety of the symless forum post on the topic... Closing all server/client configuration windows reduces the problem to a somewhat tolerable level.

Thanks @AdrianKoshka - I have just installed the new build (2.2.0-Release-18ac0fe4) and the top-left mouse creep issue still occurs (macOS Mojave 10.14.4 -> Windows 10 Pro 1809).

I can confirm that this occurs with both an Apple Magic Mouse and an Acer standard optical mouse (though the Magic Mouse seems to creep faster)

If anyone is still having this issue, we have a new macOS build, and I'm curious if it fixes it for you: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Ugh, the branch used for the PR was deleted so it's not as easy as creating a PR.

Hi, having the same issue on macOS 10.13.6 (server) and Windows 10 (client) on version 2.3.2

macOS side macbook trackpad and magic mouse have no issue. Only have issue when use with Logitech G502/G502Hero. Basically, when moving the mouse in the client, it will drift faster and will suddenly jumped back to the server. It doesn't happens when using Windows 10 as server.

No matter which mouse to use, when moved the cursor to client, the server still shows the cursor in the middle of the screen. (my set up is Macbook laptop + external screen & Windows laptop + external screen)

Edit: the macOS server always have the following error when moving to the client screen:

@ryoplasmic That sounds like a completely different issue (this issue was a slow mouse drift, not as you describe).

v2.3.2 resolved this issue (it included Merge #424)

It seems that #424 has fixed this issue. Please reopen if that's not the case.
