Bug Description

When using Unity with multiple Screens (2 in my case) the mousepointer is sticky at the edge between the two screens. The second screen is attached, to the right side of the first.

While moving the mouse from the left screen, to the right, it is stopped on the edge. Thereby the mousepointer is shown on the right screen over the launcher, but still sticks to the left screen.

This is very annoying, since haptic does not match optic in that case.

It's highly likely this problem is in the x.org barrier code, but needs further investigation.
