Title:
  Multi-monitor: Mousepointer hangs when passing between monitors,
  although no Launcher is there (regression)

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [How to reproduce]

  1. Have a dual screen left-right config, with the Launcher just visible on your main (left) monitor
  2. Make your mousepointer move between first and second display multiple times

  [What you would expect]

  You should feel no barrier when doing that, as there is no Launcher on
  the right screen.

  [What actually happens]

  The mousepointer sometimes hangs, when moving between those screens (both directions are
  affected, left->right && right->left).

  Note: It always hangs once you stay longer than 1 second on each monitor.
        It also starts blocking after one second if you move between your screens rapidly.

  Workaround (without hacking the code):
  Edit unityshell.xml (best copy it to ~/.compiz-1/metadata) and change "edge_passed_disabled_ms" <default> and <max> settings to 900000000, which means your
  pointer will hang once in 250 hours/once every 10 days after the barrier has been broken.
