mouse not switching screens

[digitao]

What happened?

with archlinux server and win10 client, when running gnome on wayland (currently this is the default for gnome) when the desktop is shown or there is a gnome application (ie gedit , nautilus or gnome-terminal) fullscreen the mouse cursor will refuse to switch screens, when another application is fullscreen (ie chrome or firefox) it switches as expected.

from the testing I have done it appears as if whenever a gnome has control of the right edge of the screen (my windows client is to the right) barrier does not see the mouse being at that edge whereas when the cursor is over some other application when it reaches the trigger edge (ie one of the barrier windows or chrome)it sees it just fine.

behaviour only manifests on wayland, Xorg behaves fine.

also turned up logging to debug2 nothing logged when it fails...

In my case, Barrier only work if the window (on server) is active.

UPDATE: I just downgraded to 2.3.2 and it works!

Downgrading to 2.3.3 (not git, the original release) should have been already enough #1241

You might want to make sure you didn't have scroll lock (ScrLk) on. That will lock the mouse to the system you were on when you hit that key.

Yes, I have the issue where OSX is server and windows is client it works, but when windows is server and osx is client i get Cursor may not be visible

I've just started testing out Barrier and noticed this issue too. I'm on Barrier version 2.4.0 using EndeavourOS with Gnome on Wayland attempting to interact with a Windows 10 client and I believe I've narrowed down this behavior to the Dash-To-Panel Gnome extension.

Any time that I set up a screen layout where Dash-to-Panel isn't on the same border of the monitor that I want to use to change screens, Barrier works as expected. Barrier will also work if another application is fullscreen above Dash-to-Panel as it isn't able to intercept the attempt to cross over to the client.

During my testing I also found it's possible to cause some odd behavior by toggling on Dash-to-Panel's Panel Intellihide feature. If the panel is fully hidden, you can force the mouse over to your remote client if you're quick enough but the panel beginning to unhide usually snaps me back to the server if I'm too slow.
