Cannot move the mouse on the 2nd device

What happened?

I'm probably just dumb and I'm sorry for posting it here but after nearly 40 minutes of fighting with this program I've got enough and I would be very thankful if someone could help me.

After installing the program it didn't work at all, after disabling the SSL thingy it started working but when i move my cursor to the upper side of my screen the mouse sometimes kinda bounces off of it a few times before switching to the 2nd device. And on the 2nd device the mouse is just locked in place on the taskbar (its not visible tho), the only thing i can do is right click, or use the set up earlier shortcut to bring it back to device no1. (the keyboard works. I use a wired mouse.)
Is there a solution?

For me Windows 10 (server) to Ubuntu (client)
Turn off Wayland and use Xorg DM (uncomment #/etc/gdm3/custom.conf)
Restart Ubuntu
Windows Change Desktop scaling to 100% for main computer monitor
Hope this helps you

I have Windows on both devices. And the scaling is set to default, which i think is 100, other than default would look bad anyway

I don't have two windows machines ATM to test. I'm new to this too. Other item related to mouse issues I found when searching on this earlier today was making sure scroll lock was off on both computers.
Sorry I cant be more help at this time.

Just in case, see:
#1638
I just had a similar problem, fixed with the issue mentioned. It's a workaround, not a real fix. But works for me.

Will check ot out thanks

i have meet the same problem.server:windows10,client:windos10.both 2.4.0-release
When I use computer 1 as the server and computer 2 as the client, the barrier can function properly. However, when I use computer 2 as the server and computer 1 as the client, the logs show everything is normal, but the mouse is not displaying on the client side, while the keyboard works fine.
Solution:i just try to Switch the version.(computer1:version2.4.0,computer2:version2.3.4) solved this problem.
