Steps to reproduce

As you can see in the screen recording, the MWB feature has a bug where it resets the Mouse back to the Center Top of the desktop screen when moving from one monitor to the other on which ever PC is hosting. This makes it very jarring and hard to use when switching between monitors. I don't recall this being an issue prior to the last most recent update as I use this feature on the daily.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expect the Mouse to move seamlessly when switching between monitors.

I'm glad I did the search before I posted another bug report. I've been having the same issue for quite some time and just became annoying enough to search. I don't see that anything has been resolved, though.

Restarting both instances of Power Toys usually fixes it (sometimes needs multiple tries). It would be nice to have this fixed though.

Is there a solution or a temporary workaround for this?
