[BUG] Mouse Cursor gets locked to one monitor on dual monitor setup hyprland 0.55

[mrjxtr]

Describe the bug

Mouse Cursor gets locked to one monitor on dual monitor setup hyprland 0.55

Even when I try to switch monitors with a hotkey, the cursor remains on my first monitor and I it gets locked on the left side of the screen.

Doing hyprctl reload fixes it for the session but returns after a reboot or after turning off the machine.

Steps to reproduce

After each reboot or log-out.

Expected behavior

Cursor moves along with my mouse.

UPDATE:

Might have something to do with confine_pointer in the Dynamic Effects sections

effect	argument	description
confine_pointer	boolean	Locks the mouse cursor to the window. Mostly useful for keeping your mouse cursor locked to one monitor during gaming.

I just don't know how to use it without using lua

UPDATE: (again)

Found this discussion on hyprland's github: [0.55] Cursor confined to one monitor on startup (multi-monitor race condition)
