Yes, when moving my mouse from screen 3 to the left, crossing the line to
screen 2, my mouse jumps to the very left side of screen 1, skipping over
screen 2 all together. If I then move my mouse to the right, then I can
successfully and smoothly move across all of my screens. This only happens
when I am moving from right to left.
