Bug Description

New in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS the unity menu is now attached to every monitor. During normal activity when navigating between screens the mouse it pauses at every display, waiting for interaction with the menu. It doesn't matter if I have the auto-hide on/off, doesn't matter if I use left side or top left corner, and it doesn't matter what reveal sensitivity I set. I can not set which screen I want the menu on, and the only way to avoid it is to plan ahead and get a head start while moving the mouse as fast as possible. A better solution is needed to this menu bar when more than 1 display is in use. It slows down my productivity.

You can go to display settings in control center and disable sticky edges. Please let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

-This has had no noticable impact on the mouse sticking issue.

"Also from your words it not super clear what you wanted to say but I guessed from the last line that its something to do with the mouse sticking when crossing screens ;-)"
-Yes this is correct.
