I've upgraded to Precise on a second machine, and the problem seems less acute.

The difference is that this computer has a mouse with high sensitivity. If I approach the monitor border very quickly, the cursor passes through without getting stuck.

Using the trackball I have on my other system, it's very difficult to move the cursor that quickly, so it almost always gets stuck.

So it seems there *is* a threshold velocity for this behaviour, but it has been set too high. Either it should be lowered, or made configurable.

Simply increasing the trackball sensitivity to avoid this new feature is not a solution.
