In a multi-monitor setup, the mouse pointer often passes from one monitor to another. In my experience, when the mouse pointer is about to enter either the left or right side of a Reader 8 window, the mouse pointer "sticks" on the edge of the Reader 8 window. Then, after a second or so, the mouse pointer is released by Reader 8 to continue its travel. This "sticky" behavior is <very> difficult. One's eyes normally travel with the expected motion of the mouse pointer, but this "sticky" behavior often forces one to look back along the pointer path just to try to find the mouse pointer where it has become "stuck." Or, if the mouse pointer has been released from being "stuck," then it often "jumps" to a destination that is far from its intended destination -- and again one must try to find the mouse pointer and bring it back to its intended destination. Previous versions of Adobe Reader did not have this "sticky" behavior -- nor does any other Windows program on my computer. Is there a way to turn this "sticky" behavior off? If not, can a feature to turn the "sticky" behavior off be added via the next update for Reader 8? Thanks.
