Bug Description

Binary package hint: synergy

I had synergy setup on Edgy/Dapper with the following configuration:

* PC in the middle acting as server (Feisty)

* PC to the right client (Feisty)

* PC on the left as client (Windows Vista)

Everything worked fine for years. Upgraded to Feisty and now the Windows PC works fine, I can move the mouse to that system and make any changes without loosing the connection or the data. When I move the right (Feisty client) the mouse moves into the screen, but the cursor is lost (or stands still) after a few milliseconds of being on that screen.

The logs look normal as the mouse enters and leaves the screen.

I tested things by having each of the other two systems be the server and the other 2 as clients (all possible permutations) and the problem is always the same: the Feisty package for synergy breaks, Windows works fine.

Bottom line:
Regardless of who acts as server, the Feisty synergyc portion of synergy is broken.
