I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 running Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2. The T14 is my Primary in Multiplicity Version 3 Beta 4. I have a Lenovo USB-C dock. Plugged into my dock on a DisplayPort connection is a Samsung 34" curved display. Under my desk on my LAN I have an office PC running Windows 10 Version 22H2. I normally do remote sessions onto my office PC using Teamviewer or my Ninja RMM (Remote Maintenance & Monitoring) Ninja Remote software (I run an IT Support firm). Normally this arrangement works great, but if I have an Internet outage, I can't access my office PC from my laptop. So I bought Multiplicity in the hope that I could simulate the same connectivity over my network.
Multiplicity's KVM mode does exactly what I want. Secondary connects fine, the only problem I'm having is that the mouse cursor initially lets me target a shortcut on the Desktop or on the taskbar so that when the cursor moves over a shortcut, the focus matches and I can click the shortcut just fine. But when I move the cursor to the Multiplicity window scroll bars and back, the cursor and the focus diverge by 2 inches vertically so the focus is two inches above where the cursor is. That makes it impossible to do a session since I can't control the position of the mouse and I can't click on the taskbar. The keyboard seems to work fine. I use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and a Logitech Bluetooth mouse on the T14. Thinking the issue might be due to the wireless keyboard/mouse, I plugged in a wired mouse to the T14, but the same behavior occurs.
If I can fix this problem, then Multiplicity will work well for me? Any suggestions?

I tried putting my laptop on WiFi disconnected from the dock. That works, especially when I changed the Window settings in Multiplicity primary to stretch from 1:1. I'll try again on the dock with the same window settings to see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't, I'll try the same setup on WiFi instead of a wired Ethernet connection.
Disregard, I fixed the problem. In the KVM settings at the top of the KVM secondary computer window, I changed the 1:1 setting to Stretch. I have no idea why that worked, but I the mouse focus and click is one and I have full control of the session. Multiplicity works exactly as I hoped, I can open a session with one click over my LAN. It's great! Thank you!
Hello,Great, glad to hear that. Maybe, it work because the monitors resolution on both system not the same.
