Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
I will attach a diagram of my monitor layout. The builtin monitor is set to 1024x768. The external monitor is set to 1920x1080 and is positioned above the built-in. The right hand edge of the two monitors line up. This leaves a rectangular "no go" area on the lower left, where the mouse cursor should be unable to go. However, it can enter this area. The Launcher appears on the built-in monitor. However, it does not appear when the mouse cursor reaches the left hand edge of the monitor. One must continue moving the mouse cursor, through the "no go" area to reach the left edge of the "no go" area before the Launcher appears. Then, one must move the mouse cursor back to the right until it reappears on the built-in monitor and then get it back into the Launcher before that disappears. What I expect should happen is that the Launcher should appear when the mouse cursor reaches the left edge of the built-in monitor. With the mouse cursor in the external monitor, the Launcher appears when the cursor reaches the left hand edge of the external monitor. This is reasonable. This edge is also lined up with the left edge of the "no go" area. Another expectation I have that is not honored in this scenario is that the mouse acts as though it enters this "no go" area. See above about having to move the mouse further left after it disappears off the left edge of the built-in before the Launcher appears. Another example is that the mouse can be moved off the bottom edge of the external monitor into the "no go" area. One must then move the mouse significantly to the right before it appears in the built-in monitor.
