Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1105

Describe the bug
My host machine (Windows) and my client (Pop-OS 20.04) will only allow me to move my mouse between the two if I configure the client to be on the left side of the host. As soon as I put it on the right, it no longer works.

I have two monitors on my host machine and if I go the whole way left on my second monitor it works but when I try to go right on my main monitor it doesn't work.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Configure the client to be on the left side of the host
Move mouse all the way left
Client get's mouse and keyboard input
Move the client to the right side of the host
Reload host
Move mouse all the way right
Mouse never leaves the screen

Host
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Barrier: 2.3.3

Client
OS: Pop-OS 20.04 LTS
Barrier: 2.3.3

Same issue here, i've found out that this problem arise when i use "Scaling factor" for main display in windows configuration. When i removed 150% scaling factor, issue dissapeared. You can check debug level logs, when you change display positions in windows, virtual display in barrier changed as if the real monitor area are multiplied by scaling factor. Have no idea how to fix it tho, probably it is all because barrier doesn't handle dpi settings at all

Same issue here, only works when client to the left side. Scaling also used on my clients.
