I run dual monitors and play gw2 full-screen on the left one. However I’ve noticed an issue. Usually when my cursor reaches the right edge of the game screen (right edge of the left monitor), it stops. But sometimes (typically when I’m hastily using the mouse to pan the camera) , the cursor continues moving past the game screen and onto my second monitor screen (cursor icon even changes from the game icon to the windows cursor icon), effectively leaving the game. Sometimes when this happens, it even minimizes the game. As you might imagine, this has disastrous results in a fight.

Is this just something that must be lived with, or is there a fix? I’ve tried to reproduce this effect, but usually can’t when things are calm/out-of-combat. Even in combat, it’s sporadic. A guildie suggested turning off ‘windowed fullscreen’, but I’m not sure what this is or how to do it. Plus, if I turn off windowed fullscreen, will I still me able to see things on my second monitor while playing? I usually like to have teamspeak open on the second one, or sometimes am referencing a gw2 wiki page on it.

a couple notes: it seems to only happen when I’m holding one of the mouse buttons down as I’m moving it. And it is pretty common if I start the drag just an inch or two from the right edge of the game screen
