Description Ale 2025-01-26 23:35:21 UTC
SUMMARY
When using dual screens and moving the mouse around on the android app using the remote input option, the cursor remains locked on the secondary screen, i.e. does not travel back to the main screen upon traversing the edge between both screens. Rather, it goes back to the opposite edge, as if kdeconnect thought the secondary screen were the only screen available. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up dual screens and kde-connect. 
2. Use remote input feature to move the cursor from the main screen to the secondary screen.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor remains locked on the secondary screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor travels seamlessly between primary and secondary screens, as it does when using hardware mouse.

I'm on Arch with KDE Plasma 6.3.3 and KDE Connect 24.12.3-1. When I try to move the mouse cursor to a screen to the left, the cursor is able to pass over to the next screen as expected. When I try to move the mouse cursor to a screen to the right, it doesn't make it over to the next screen and just jumps back into the screen it was already on. The cursor jumps from the right edge of the current screen, to the left and slightly up.
