Bug Description
I'm running 5.2 with two monitors. When the mouse is moved between the two monitors, the mouse pauses and the Unity launcher comes up. This is as expected in 5.2. But what I have noticed is that when dragging a window between the two monitors, the mouse pauses, and the Unity launcher still comes up. In fact, some times, the mouse seems to get stuck and will not leave the "Unity pause" and I have to let go of the window and try again. While the pause works well when not dragging a window, while dragging a window this is a major inconvenience.
-------
Desired solution:
See comment #3 below. If the mouse is getting stuck due to a technical bug this issue needs to be fixed, however this should not be confused with the designed multi-monitor "edge-stop" behaviour.
The unwanted launcher reveal will be fixed by bug #928805
The inconsistency in the "edge-stop" behaviour will be fixed by bug #931384
Removing project 'ayatana-design' in case this is a technical bug. If it is not a technical bug it should be marked 'invalid'.
