My setup is like, a 24" in the middle, and 4 17" around it, 2 beneath, 1 L 1 R. The 2 17" to the left are XP running a vertical span which is split in the middle. So I have links all over the place.. if something goes wrong the cursor can end up anywhere, thus I added a green border feature in Octopus to counter that . Because these KM's I've been working on have been hiding the mouse in the lower right corner (a tradition since I MultiBox I think !) any links that are around this area just go beserk if transition logic happens out of order, or doesn't happen, etc. It wouldn't matter where the mouse is hidden really (well dropping the cursor in the middle of the desktop wouldn't look so flash even if it helped tame the issue). That's just part of the story... Windows hooks/cursor positioning is just screwy to deal with when pushed like this.
