Bug Description

I am working on my laptop with a second monitor attached (to the right of my laptop both virtually and physically).
I have the launcher only on the laptop, set to autohide.

When trying to get my cursor from the 2nd monitor onto the main/laptop screen (coming right to left) my cursor gets stuck on the left-hand edge of the 2nd monitor.
This happens if I move the cursor slowly and stays stuck there, it can't 'break through' onto the other monitor.
If I move the cursor quickly it doesn't get stuck and jumps to the other monitor fine.

I'm using a Logitech Tracman trackball-style mouse but just tried with a traditional optical mouse and the same behaviour is observed.

It appears to be fine after a fresh boot, but after a hibernate/wakeup cycle (i.e. close and open laptop lid) this sticky edge behaviour is observed.
