Windows – Mouse Disappears when Mac Is Client and Windows Is Server In Synergy While It Runs

macossynergywindowswindows xp

When I run Mac OSX 10.4 as a client and Windows XP as a server. I would move my mouse from XP to Mac and the mouse on the Mac would disappear until it returned to the XP Desktop.

I ran synergyc with –no-daemon to see what the problem was and they connect successfully, but only if I use XP's local IP address. Also, it would show that the mouse was entering and leaving the screen.

I have used synergy successfully between two different versions of Windows, before, so I don't know if the XP setup is the problem or not.

The Mac cursor issue is also discussed here

This is definitely a bug in the Mac software.

I have the same problem running Synergy server on Linux and client (v1.4.2) on Mac OS X 10.6.6

Workaround: The mouse cursor reappears when I hit Command-Tab to cycle between applications.
