Description
Hi I have a bit of an interesting setup, I am running Debian 12 with XRDP enabled on port 3390 - I connect from my other machines into Debian 12, which runs WInApps in Docker running Tiny11.
- However after I connect FreeRDP and launch an application in WIndows docker, I can only control the mouse in that FreeRDP window, and am unable to switch back / take over the mouse in my main RDP Session! What can I do?

Research direction
The report describes Debian 12 with XRDP on port 3390, FreeRDP, and WinApps in Docker, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the nested RDP setup and investigating when FreeRDP captures the mouse. Done means the mouse can be released from the FreeRDP window and control can return to the main RDP session.
