Does the bug perhaps occur whenever the laptop monitor is not at the top-left of all monitors?

And this makes using the Ubuntu operating system largely inconvenient for me when in comparison to Windows. If re-creating the problem on your end doesn't work, just know I have DisplayLink by Synaptics installed, a USB hub managing software.
