[BUG] The virtual pointer does not extend to second screen #242

Description

@giampierosalvi

Description
In multiple screen settings, the virtual pointer works well on the main screen, but only reaches a small part of the second screen.

To Reproduce
Start projecteur, start the virtual pointer either with a Logitech Spotlight or with "Show test..." and a normal mouse. At this point the background of the second screen changes showing an darker area (see screenshots). Move the pointer around in the first and second screen. On the second screen the pointer stops when reaching the edge of the darker area. Note that in normal mouse mode there is no problem moving the mouse pointer on any screen. Same behavior is observed if running QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland projecteur.

Expected behavior
It should be possible to use the virtual pointer on the whole surface of the second screen.
