Hi,

How about trying to disable the annotation in the web portal to see if the issue is gone? Some of the users could fix this issue this way.

I am also facing the same issue ever since I upgraded my version to 6.2.3 (2056) . I am using Oracle Linux Server 8.10. I am a developer and need to use linux for daily work. This is causing lot of trouble in meetings.

I found a fix for this issue on linux. After starting the screen sharing open the annotate tool bar and select the "select" option and close the annotate tool bar. Now the mouse click will start working and able to navigate between apps using mouse.

 

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Worked for me! It is quite eerie to have to go through such hops to just regain bare mouse functionalities... but at least now I can share my screen again.
