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.

+1 for Command-Tab – Robert Gowland May 7 at 14:35
This is SUPER annoying :( – Ari Braginsky May 9 at 16:57
Confirmed it's still happening with the latest beta release 1.4.8 where the server is Windows 7 64-bit and the client is OS X 7. – Ari Braginsky May 9 at 17:38
