The issue still exists in 2.93. It is such a nuisance.

I am using RDCMan v2.90 on a Windows 10 laptop.
When my mouse cursor is inside RDCMan's window, the cursor jumps to the left on its own every few minutes. If I move my cursor to anywhere outside RDCMan's window, the cursor becomes normal. Regular Remote desktop client works perfectly fine.
I have been struggling with this issue for a long time, tried re-installing it, but it still has the problem. This makes it very difficult to use RDCMan for any serious work.
Any solution?

I just tried updating my laptop's video drivers, but that did not make any difference.

2022-06-14T18:58:40.9+00:00 not sure if anyone is looking at this....but I just wanted to post an update:
I found out some interesting information:
Every 5 seconds, the mouse cursor is being "grabbed" by the RDCman application and sent into the remote desktop window inside RDCman.
Seems to me there is some functionality which does this.Also, if I keep the mouse cursor totally inside the remote desktop window (inside RDC man)...then the mouse cursor does not jump around.
I also found out that the mouse cursor does not really jump to the left, as this thread's title says. The mouse cursor is moved to whatever edge/position I moved my mouse away from the remote desktop window at. I hope that makes sense.

IMHO, RDCMan is abandonware :-(
