Bug Description

On a dual screen setup the edge resistance stops working randomly, making it difficult to access the launcher on one of my monitors. I've attached a screencast of the issue. Note that the edge resistance works the first 3 times I hit the edge of the right-hand screen, but then when I move my mouse briefly in to the left-hand screen and move it back as the launcher hides itself, the edge resistance then stops working until I click on a window.

I have a dual monitor setup (1920x1080x2 horizontal layout, launcher on left monitor primary), and edge resistance seems to have stopped working completely. There is no resistance when moving mouse from the right monitor over to the left and vice versa. It used to work fine, so something broke it. Missing edge resistance makes it harder to hit the top right indicator meny on the left monitor, and also to trigger maximization on edge hit.

Øyvind, you are facing a different bug which is caused by the latest nvidia driver. Still keeping this one confirmed as Popey confirmed this issue as well.
