Bug Description

When running dual screens, when moving the mouse from one screen to the next, it momentarilly gets "hung up" on the second screens launcher, on the very left most edge of the screen. It is "very" annoying and I believe it should be fixed.

Also, this is a different topic, but the look and feel of having two identical looking launchers/docks/top menu's on each screen is, in my opinion, attrocious. But that is a different issue.
