mouse cursor doesn't transfer to other screen

[frankster]

I would normally expect that when I have a synaptic screen connected I would be able to move the mouse from one edge of my main screen, to the synaptic screen.

What I actually find is that when I use gnome-terminal, there is only 1 inch at the top left of my screen that I can use to transfer the mouse cursor over. If I try and move the mouse to the middle left of my screen, it won't transfer over.

This problem mainly occurs when I am using gnome-terminal.

As this doesn't seem to be synaptic-related, rather a window manager problem, I am deassigning from the synaptic package.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
