Cursor won't move easily from screen to screen on Multiple Displays (Windows 10)

While using 3 displays on a Windows 10 laptop, I noticed a problem wherein the cursor would get stuck on the edge of a screen at the border between that screen and another. 

(You'll have to forgive me; I'm having trouble capturing a screenshot that includes my cursor :-/ ) 

I traced this back to a gap between the displays in the Display settings.        

Removing this gap removes the issue with the cursor getting hung or stuck between screens.



This is completely reproducible on my system.

I hope you're right.

 I hope you're right.

I hope it's just overblown, breathless nonsense concocted by the liberal media.
I hope this is all a hoax that the libtards cooked up when they got bored with peddling climate change.
I hope it's a Machiavellian plot by the DNC to get the mighty Trump out of office.
I hope that it's no worse than the flu.
I hope that Biden goes to jail and the world acknowledges that the election was stolen and Trump gets back in office and can can put everything right with the world again.
I hope that Obama was born in Kenya.
I hope he's a Muslim and a terrorist and a radical.
I hope that the 2008 bailout really was a government takeover of the auto industry and we've all just failed to see it.
I hope that Sharia law takes over. No, wait. I hope that it was really going to, but then was somehow thwarted by Rush Limbaugh as his last, heroic, dying act. Or something.
I hope that Fox News announces an investigative report of all the people that were killed by the death panels in the healthcare bill.
I hope that Elvis is still alive, that he's happily married to a mermaid, and that they're living in the sound studio that was used to film the moon landings.

Honestly, I'm not even joking. I really hope that, because it's the last hope we have.

You'd better be right. You have to be right. Because there is no opportunity for any other course than the one we're on.

I've never wanted more to be wrong, because it looks to me like people are lying to you and laughing all the way to the bank.

... Again ...

It looks to me like the vaccine is way < 100% effective.
It looks to me like ain't nobody gonna be wearing no goddam masks to make sure they don't give a deadly respiratory infection to their friends and neighbors - a respiratory infection that is even more serious than last year; that took at least 6 people I knew in 2020, and that hospitalized four others. (2 of which still haven't "bounced back")

You guys are in charge. Seriously. You on the right. You run the world, or at least the part I live in.

You'd better be right.

You'd better be right, or this is going to get really ugly really fast.

Edit: Nope. You were wrong, and people I love died. Because what else could possibly have happened? Oh, well. At least you're Pwning the libs.
