Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/205

Using linux as the server with input-capture-portal, lan-mouse will never send the signal to release keys after moving the mouse to another machine.

Reproduction:

Open up a text editor or something
Hold down a key, like the 'A' key
While holding the key, move the mouse to another system's monitor
Release the key
Observe that the key continues to repeat despite being released

This can get annoying with modifier keys being accidentally held while transitioning

I'm not sure this can be fixed within lan-mouse. Seems to me more like an oversight in the input-capture portal implementation.
