Mouse workspace wrapping

Hi guys,

I've been using xfce for several years now, but have never run into this before--

My mouse has stopped wrapping at the bottom of the screen.  It wraps fine on the top and the sides--just not the bottom.  I do see the tip f the mouse cursor at the bottom when it can go no lower, but the workspace does not switch to the lower one like it should.

I've googled and searched through the setting to no avail.  Any hints out there?

Re: Mouse workspace wrapping

Experiment with the 'wrap' options in Settings>WindowManagerTweaks>Workspaces

Re: Mouse workspace wrapping

Here's an update I just discovered--

I neglected to mention this fact because I honestly did not think it was important.  I have dual monitors.  The issue *only* occurs on the second monitor (I have a second monitor hooked up to my laptop).

I am running the NVIDIA driver 295.20.

I can wrap successfully on my original laptop monitor (and the entire logical screen--both monitors--wraps).  It just does not allow my mouse to go below the screen on the external monitor.

Re: Mouse workspace wrapping

It seems to be an issue with xrandr, of which I am not familiar with.

My laptop resolution is 1920x1080, while my external monitor is 1680x1050.  The difference in vertical resolution seems to be the issue, but I do not know xrandr well enough to play with the settings to fix it.
