What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Start both the server and client on both Macs
- Connect a Bluetooth mouse (like the MX Master 3S) that is paired with both computers
- Switch the mouse to the server and expect the mouse cursor to be visible and not disappear
- Switch the mouse to the client and expect the mouse cursor to become invisible after a while and eventually disappear (Not every time but on sometimes, or rare cases)
Log output
I see lots of the following logs on the client:
DEBUG - hiding cursor
WARNING - cursor may not be visible
Additional information
Any ideas about what maybe causing the problem?
Not sure.
Any workarounds that you've discovered?
Randomly move the cursor around for a while, change the input device on the mice, it helps a little, but it disappears again after a short time

Does the issue stop you using Deskflow entirely?
No, but its a bit frustrating.

It doesn't resolve the issue.
