Mouse pointer jump into new workspace

Hi,

I move the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen to navigate between workspaces. However, when I jump into the next workspace, the mouse pointer already is ~200px inside the next space. This is irritating when e.g. want to close a program and carelessly move the mouse too far and jump far into the next screen. I can understand that this is a feature, not a bug, but I'd like to turn it off/remove it if possible.

Thanks

You can't disable this. Without this small space, there could happen some ugly things by switching through the desktops.

Thanks for answering, but I don't understand. It worked great with 4.0 and 4.2. What could happen?

Re: Mouse pointer jump into new workspace

Could it be related to a less-than usual screen resolution I'm using? I'm currently running at 1792x1344. I took a screenshot measuring just how far the mouse jumps when crossing a screen. Going from left to right, the mouse jumps 358 pixels, going from right to left it jumps 362 pixels.

Now, 1792-360=1432
and 1792-360-360=1072

neither of which are standard resolutions.
