Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1220

Description
It's pretty self explanatory, when I connect to my windows (KVM) client from my linux server the mouse gets stuck in the bottom right corner and I can't do anything.

To Reproduce

Install barrier on both systems and connect normally.

Expected behavior
To work normally and use to between the machines.

Desktop

OS:
Client: Windows in KVM
Server: Arch linux (with qtile).
Barrier version: 2.3.3 (both machines)

Additional info

I made a new clear windows vm and it was the same so I don't think it's the vm's problem.

This is happening to me as well. by chance are you using any kind of screen scaling?

I also encountered this issue (mouse stuck in bottom right on client)

Linux client (kde neon, based on ubuntu 22)
Win 11 server

Fixed by changing windows server display scaling from 125% -> 100% (then changing font scale to 125% to keep things readable)
Thankks @dudefoxlive for tip on workaround!

Sadly this does not work for me as I have a 4K Display :(

Same here. Gentoo Linux as Server and Ubuntu 22.04 as Client. No connection issues, both logs says only "entering screen.." and "leaving screen..." but I can't move the mouse pointer.

If I press somethin like "Alt+Tab" I can switch windows but nothing more. Both screens get their pointers stuck.
