Hello
I am testing screen task. I have tried sharing my screen to a couple of pcs and ipads in my network and they all present this issue.

The tracker (mouse) on the viewer's screen does not match the position on my screen. It is always about 2cm to the left and a bit up (around 10 oclock 2 cm away). Is there any way to make the tracker's position accurate. It is completely relevant when you are going through a presentations and trying to mark items on your screen, but the viewers get an incorrect position on their screen.

Hi,
Thanks for your precious testing about the issue , i have test it myself on my PC/Tablet and can't figure out the exact problem i just have some delay because of the time interval is 500ms, i changed it to 100ms in both Server and Client and works much good than the old state.
also i have faced another issue that the Selection Text Pointer (I Beam) is not shown correctly.

it would be more helpful if you provided me with more details and screenshot about the issue to be fixed soon.

Eslam

Sorry for the delay, but have been away on a trip.

Attached pics of the sharing and receiving screens and you will notice how the cursor is not in the same position (thus complicates when you are explain something on the screen and pointing it, but the other persons sees your cursor somewhere else)

Let me know what you think.
