What happened?

I have a multiple monitor setup, on my windows computer, which looks like this:

When I am on screens 4, 3, and 2 it behaves as expected, however I cannot reach the bottom portion of screen 1. If I go near the bottom of the screen on monitor 1 it jumps to the client computer.

The cut off point is almost exactly where the bottom edge of screen 2 is, so it appears that it is using the bottom of screen 2 as the point as which the mouse on screen 1 transitions to the client computer.

When I change my windows setup to look like this:

My mouse jumps to the client computer as expected, but since that layout doesn't match my physical setup now my mouse shifts vertically when I move to monitor 2.

I would like it to jump to the client computer without any issues while also having my setup match my physical setup if possible.

It might be that the issue is related to monitor 2 being in portrait mode.
