Description Blazer Silving 2025-11-30 16:57:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
I use following VNC clients in this order of frequency:

AVNC (Android)
Remmina (Linux)
TightVNC Viewer (Windows)

When connected to krfb, a remote click from these clients only moves the host mouse in Wayland, it does not "move and click". A second tap in this spot will register as a click. This is incorrect in reference to x11vnc. 

All of the clients behave this way, the issue is server-side

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure krfb for remote access.
2. Connect with varied VNC clients.
3. Each displays the tap-move behavior, not tap-click. 
4. There is no configuration for input handling in krfb settings. 

EXPECTED RESULT
A single tap should move the mouse AND register as a click event.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
