Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/106

I have it running on two clients, one sway and the other KDE Plasma (Wayland)

When the cursor exits sway and enters KDE, it becomes invisible for KDE, but I can still click and type. But when in KDE, it also cannot go back to the sway client if I'm using the sway client input. However, I can control the cursor using the input device on KDE client and it becomes visible and it can go back to sway to control everything.

KDE Plasma version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks: 5.115.0
Qt: 5.15.12
Wayland

Could you send the log when running

lan-mouse --test-emulation

and confirm that the cursor is invisible?

(this will move your cursor, you can press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop it)
