Description
Description
When using open-source tinypilot connected to an iPad and moving the mouse over the black "No Signal" window on a Mac browser, the mouse pointer on the iPad moves. But even when I draw circles, the mouse pointer always only moves to bottom right. Keyboard works as expected, I can use <meta + h> to go to the Home Screen and <meta + space> for search.
What's the behavior that you expect?
Mouse movement is mirrored to the iPad.
What's happening instead?
Mouse movement only goes to bottom right. Even a click moves the mouse pointer a bit.
What are the steps to reproduce this behavior?
- Install "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" on "Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W"
- Run
curl --silent --show-error \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot/master/get-tinypilot.sh | \
sudo bash - && sudo reboot
(add'l sudo to avoid hundreds of "[can not remove](rm: cannot remove '/tmp/tmp.0rxb...': Permission denied)")
3. Connect Raspi to iPad using Apple "Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter"
4. Open TinyPilot in MacOS Firefox
5. Move mouse over black window
6. See how mouse pointer on iPad only moves down right with every move

Research direction
The issue names no source files or tests. Start by reproducing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, iPad, Lightning adapter, and Mac Firefox setup, then inspect the linked logs for the mouse-movement failure. Done means mouse movement and clicks over the TinyPilot window are mirrored correctly on the iPad.
