Operating Systems

Client: Fedora 30

After connecting, the mouse is invisible on the Fedora Client. Seen fine in the Windows 10 Server.
Tried with both server and client set with each fix in each screens settings, to no avail.
The clients mouse cursor stays where it was last used. Windows 10 on desktop, Fedora on a dell laptop. Laptop connected wireless to router desktop is wired to.

Barrier Version

2.3.2-snapshot-210c2b70 on both client and server

Steps to reproduce bug

On Windows 10, download and install, setup as server with laptop screen to left of windows screen. Start up server.
On Fedora Laptop, download and install the same version for linux, and setup as client, enter the ip for the host machine/access point connecting through. start client
Observe the mouse on server leaving screen
Observe mouse hoover actions on client, however no cursor.

This is 100% repro. I did not restart after installing and connecting once.

You don't have to disable wayland in GDM, I think fedora has a choice to run GNOME with X11 in the login menu.

Hi, I just stepped into this project looking for synergy alternative. This bug is related to the synergy itself which cannot run well on Wayland which is default to F30.
I do actually have a same problem. You can workaround this my disabling wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf then relogin and choos Gnome (not Gnome on wayland)
