Did this work for you?
I keep it off. Was yours on?
This strikes me as a very likely culprit with your problem.

It was on. Since I didn't know what snapping was, I didn't have a sense
as to whther it was related to my problems with Synergy.

But now I think I understand that having it ON makes it easier to move
the window sides, top and bottom to full screen. I really like that. I
like every window that can do it to be in full screen, and there are
windows that don't want to do it, that can be the next size down but
that can still be full screen if you move the side out as far as they
will go.

I've stopped trying to make Synergy or Mouse without Borders work and
I've not tried any of the others yet. I had to get some work done and I
put back the second keyboard.

But later I will try again to get one of th KV programs to work, and I
will turn off snapping to see if that makes a difference.
