Issues with moving the mouse across multiple monitors in Windows 8.1
The thread is still open and there are many out there who have been affected by this. But, as it turns out, this has apparently been included intentionally and it’s part of the new design. Here’s what one of Microsoft’s representatives have been said: The two biggest problems I have with it are: 1) it’s inconsistent on when it activates; if due to having a Metro app opened/close/minimized etc., and 2) there seems no way to turn it off. I actually believe this function might be useful… if it correctly understood when a Metro app was actually open and more importantly in focus. If it was designed solely to help with activating the charms bar or metro app switcher, even when Metro apps are not open, I would greatly desire the ability to disable it when I’m strictly on the desktop or even when metro apps are technically “open” but are minimized. Regardless of its intended purpose and the fact that the programing logic is inconsistent/broken, there needs to be an option, a simple check box, to turn it off and return it to how 8.0/8.1 pre-update worked. Last time I checked, affected users were still waiting for a fix to come from Microsoft: I can confirm for you based on the developer feedback that the mouse sticking to the edge was intentional design. I have replied back to the team to ask if it was also intentional to not do this on desktop mode, but haven’t heard back yet. But the core question – mouse stickiness – was intentionally developed and added to the product. So, if you have also found this to be annoying, leave your comment below or join the official thread.
