I have tried with another mouse, but one thing i didnt realize was that Windows has this behavior as well. I thought it didnt for some reason. it seems i am just noticing it with my switch to linux because of how prevalent the sliders and drop-down menus are and they are bigger, thus requiring...

I didn't realize that windows does it too. i had to go check for myself after i read your post. maybe i'm just noticing it in linux because the linux DEs use these components alot more and they seem bigger, and i'm just not used to having to be that mindful of where my mouse cursor is when i'm...
