Cursor escaping full screen mode

I use windows 7 and two monitors with the extended desktop setting. When I play GW2, I run it in full screen mode on the left monitor. I’ve noticed that while playing, the cursor is sometimes able to “escape” the full screen game and move over to the second monitor on the right, often resulting in the game being unintentionally minimized. After some trial and error, I was able to pin down exactly what causes it.

Steps to reproduce:
1) two monitors in extended desktop setting, GW2 running full screen on the left monitor
2) While controlling your character in any zone, move the cursor to the far right of the screen until it hits the edge of the screen and stops.
3) Hold down either mouse button and move the mouse farther to the right to begin turning the camera. While turning, release the mouse button. The mouse will escape the fullscreen mode of the game and continue moving right onto the other monitor. Clicking again will make the fullscreen game minimize itself (because you’ve now clicked on the desktop).

Note that this does not happen when I try the same steps during a loading screen, only when actually turning the camera during gameplay, which tells me this is a bug with the game and not some kind of system setup problem on my end.
