Bug Description

On a fresh install of 16.04 with a dual-monitor system. The sticky-edges feature is turned-on by default and toggling the switch in system-settings->displays has no effect (the sticky edges remain turned-on). I have verified with someone who upgraded their 15.10 system which had the sticky-edges turned-off prior to upgrade and they reported that the toggle has no effect on their system (the sticky edges remain turned-off).

Therefore I conclude that the toggle is broken and the issue is unrelated to the current-state of the setting. Both with the setting previously set to enabled and disabled, toggling the switch does not change the behaviour.

I can confirm that the stick edges toggle on/off made no difference to on my upgraded 15.10 to 16.04 system.

Sticky edges were off in 15.10 and changing to on/off now in 16.04 doesn't affect the behaviour.

thanks, toggling it does its job there, when on there the cursor gets stucked a bit in between the screens and when it's off it moves without resistance
