monitor arrangement

SUMMARY

The Remote Input within the app is not working with my specific monitor arrangement, as seen in the attachment.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a dual monitor setup where the secondary monitor is above the main monitor
2. move mouse to main monitor
3. use Remote Input in the App

OBSERVED RESULT

The cursor is going up no matter in which direction you swipe.

EXPECTED RESULT

You are able to swipe left, right and down.

I've run into this as well, there's an upstream Qt bug (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55038) that KDEConnect runs into.

Presumably, the current work to use org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop as the remote input backend will fix this entirely but that work isn't done yet.
