Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have a dual-monitor setup with the following resolutions:
1: 1920x1080 (left)
2: 1600x900 (right)

Therefore, there are 180 pixels of so called "dead space" underneath the
second (right-hand) monitor, which is explicitly not viewable due to
physical constraints.

The expected behaviour is dealing with this dead space is to not let the
mouse enter at all, meaning icons/windows/etc will not become "trapped"
inside. However, ubuntu will let the mouse wander into the dead zone,
which, to the unknowing, is quite jarring, as the mouse will have
literally "disappeared".
