Deskflow configuration

All default

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start both the server and client on both Macs
  2. Connect a Bluetooth mouse (like the MX Master 3S) that is paired with both computers
  3. Switch the mouse to the server and expect the mouse cursor to be visible and not disappear
  4. 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

What other apps are you running?

Does the issue stop you using Deskflow entirely?

No, but its a bit frustrating.

Did restarting Deskflow or the computer help?

It doesn't resolve the issue.

Anything else you can think of?
