Area(s) with issue?

Mouse Without Borders

Steps to reproduce

I have Mouse Without Borders always running but since I had to send my screen for repairs I am using my laptop as a screen with a program called Spacedesk Driver and Spacedesk Viewer, my idea is that there is a problem with Mouse Without Borders where it detects there's a problem and creates a log, this log is always growing in size, I have deleted the file since I have no way to send it and I need some space.

@OuranicRafflesia That looks quite problematic; I'll look into fixing that.

It would be very useful for us to know what's repeatedly getting logged. The next time this happens, could you get a snippet of the log before deleting it? The PowerShell command below will help with that it - it extracts the last 1000 lines of the log (you'll need to change the path to the log file).
