I used Synergy 1 (the free version) a lot in the past. I do hope you will fix 2, since Synergy is a very useful program, one of the few simple, non-Freeware utilities I have found productive enough to buy. You shall not pass! I have to use the Slave's 'real' mouse to acknowledge the alarm. That being said, I would say there are some oddities in 1 (maybe here is not the place to discuss?), the biggest now is that in the Win7 Slave when I get a Kaspersky AV warning the mouse pointer will not enter the dialog box. But I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it. As for Clipboard sharing, it hasn't worked in either version, nor drag-n-drop file-sharing. I will wait until you decide if 2 is worth salvaging. Also, in 2 I saw no way to lock the Master desktop (keep the mouse within the Master), which in 1 sometimes works by toggling ScrollLock, so I went back to 1, bugs and all. Anyway, using 2 Beta, when I went from Win 10 M / Win 7 S, strange things occurred - didn't track them, sorry, since it looked like you abandoned the whole project. Configuration was 'easier', but once I figured out how 1 worked (a chore), 'easier' was not real draw to upgrade in itself I had been hoping for additional features and stability. I went from 1 to 2 before it was redefined as Beta, and generally it worked OK on a Win7 M / Ubuntu 15 S setup. As it stands the GUI is unexplained and mysterious. I'd like to see more info and links on the GUI, though, like help and links to this forum. Other than that I am happy, I have used MWB and Sharemouse, etc, but came back to Synergy, paid the upgrade price and I'm not sorry. I changed the Synergy priorities on the slave to realtime but that did not seem to help, so I am wondering if this issue is common or something to do with these machines only. A reboot restores normal motion, but that is a pain. Additionally, on startup, sometimes it takes a few tries to get the mouse to cross to the slave. Occasionally, the clipboards don't sync and I have to reboot to restore that feature, but the biggest nuisance is that after sleeping overnight my slave machine mouse cursor becomes sluggish and jerky - almost unusable for fine movements although faster moves sorta work normally. My two machines at present are both laptops running Win10 1803, connected to the router by wifi. I'm using 2 and it is better than 1 by far IMO, but I have encountered a couple of wrinkles.
