3. Try to highlight across the displays by dragging the mouse across both screens with left click pressed.

OBSERVED RESULT
The highlight box ends at the edge of the display where the highlight was created

EXPECTED RESULT
The user should be able to highlight icons across multiple displays to create a more cohesive desktop experience.
