Versions:
UltraVNC viewer: 1.3.3 dev 10
vncserver: TigerVNC server 1.9.0+dfsg-3+deb10u3 (debian buster)
Server OS: Debian GNU Linux (buster)
Client OS: Windows 10 x64 (21H1)

If UltraVNC viewer connects to tigervnc-server (in Linux) and the connection options are changed, trajectory of cursor will be broken. This issue does not happen if the server is UltraVNC in Windows 10.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Install tigervnc-standalone-server in debian (buster).
2. Start vncserver in debian with

Sorry, the patch was against 1.3.3 dev 10. Here is the patch against git head (553dc8815d65711472fcd45fa01bd922d5fac686).
