Sidecar cursor stuck on iPad as second screen

M2 Mac Mini and M1 iPad Pro both running the most current OS's (Ventura and 17). Both recently rebooted and already cycled both handoff and sidecar in settings. This problem pre-existed the current OS's. When using the ipad as the second screen, if I move the cursor from the Mac to the iPad I cannot get the cursor back to the Mac unless I lock the iPad. It doesn't seem to be a conflict between handoff and sidecar. If this is just another buggy feature of MacOS, I'll keep handoff as more valuable and buy another display. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? The cursor is not lost as with earlier posts.
