Bug Description
I spoke with DBO in #ubuntu-desktop, and he assured me this is by design.
When I use multiple monitors, I'd expect a smooth transition of the mouse from screen to screen.
Instead the mouse pauses briefly, presumably to allow the reveal of the launcher. However, even if I go slow so the launcher does not show, then I am stuck in this position and have to move my mouse much further to get it to the other screen.
This is really hard to get used to, and perhaps needs some refinement.
I'd prefer to see the mouse pass through most of the time, and only on very direct behavior, would the launcher be shown. Its also really unclear to me why it also stops while going left->right since there is nothing to reveal.
