Title:
  On multi-monitor, mouse gets stuck in the middle, especially going
  right to left

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

Bug description:
  I spoke with DBO in #ubuntu-desktop, and he assured me this is by
  design.

  When I use multiple monitors, I'd expect a smooth transition of the
  mouse from screen to screen.

  Instead the mouse pauses briefly, presumably to allow the reveal of
  the launcher. However, even if I go slow so the launcher does not
  show, then I am stuck in this position and have to move my mouse much
  further to get it to the other screen.

  This is really hard to get used to, and perhaps needs some refinement.

  I'd prefer to see the mouse pass through most of the time, and only on
  very direct behavior, would the launcher be shown. Its also really
  unclear to me why it also stops while going left->right since there is
  nothing to reveal.
