What happened?

I run three monitors. The middle monitor is portrait/vertical. When I have the cursor at the top of that screen, it cannot be moved to the window on the side.

I've had to resort to placing a piece of tape on each side so that I notice when my cursor is above the "line".

Can we have an option to scale the position of the mouse so that sliding from the "top 10%" of a tall screen goes to the "top 10%" of a shorter screen?

I understand this may not be for everyone, but It jars me out of my flow.

Thanks for such a solid project!
