Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mouse Without Borders issue on Windows 11 with monitors that are not vertically aligned, moving the mouse between PCs and back. Trace how the target PC chooses the cursor position; done means the cursor appears at the same height on the target monitor instead of at its top middle.
