Title:
  Mouse can enter "no go" area of dual monitor setup

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I will attach a diagram of my monitor layout.  The builtin monitor is
  set to 1024x768.  The external monitor is set to 1920x1080 and is
  positioned above the built-in.  The right hand edge of the two
  monitors line up.  This leaves a rectangular "no go" area on the lower
  left, where the mouse cursor should be unable to go.  However, it can
  enter this area.

  The Launcher appears on the built-in monitor.  However, it does not
  appear when the mouse cursor reaches the left hand edge of the
  monitor.  One must continue moving the mouse cursor, through the "no
  go" area to reach the left edge of the "no go" area before the
  Launcher appears.  Then, one must move the mouse cursor back to the
  right until it reappears on the built-in monitor  and then get it back
  into the Launcher before that disappears.

  What I expect should happen is that the Launcher should appear when
  the mouse cursor reaches the left edge of the built-in monitor.

  With the mouse cursor in the external monitor, the Launcher appears
  when the cursor reaches the left hand edge of the external monitor.
  This is reasonable.  This edge is also lined up with the left edge of
  the "no go" area.

  Another expectation I have that is not honored in this scenario is
  that the mouse acts as though it enters this "no go" area.  See above
  about having to move the mouse further left after it disappears off
  the left edge of the built-in before the Launcher appears.  Another
  example is that the mouse can be moved off the bottom edge of the
  external monitor into the "no go" area.  One must then move the mouse
  significantly to the right before it appears in the built-in monitor.
