Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in mRemoteNG with Windows display scaling set to 125%, then trace how mouse positions are handled when clicking in the mRemoteNG window. Done means clicks land at the cursor position at both 100% and non-100% scaling factors, including farther from the top-left corner.
