[Bug 389519] Re: Cursor can move off-screen when dual-monitors do not form rectangular area

 

Problem also occurs on my Toshiba Satellite U405, with Intel GMA X3100
graphics: mouse moving into the "dead space" above the top menu bar on
the laptop monitor.

Is there any estimate how or when it might be resolved? I suspect it
affects any person who uses dual monitors with a laptop, since generally
the laptop screen height is not the same as a CRT or LCD display. It's
hard for me to believe it's been discussed since March 2007 (per
response #1) and still no patch ;-P

In almost all cases, I suspect the user will have two displays side-by-
side that are different heights. It should be relatively simple to add a
solution for this situation, taking care of 99% of the open cases. All
that needs to be done is to prevent the mouse from entering the dead
space (and respectively prevent windows from being moved there).
