SUMMARY
When using a secondary screen and USB-connected mouse, after disconnecting the laptop and reconnecting it, the mouse Pointer speed is reset to the default. In order to set it to the preferred setting again, you have to go into "Settings-->Input Devices-->Mouse-->Pointer Speed" every time after disconnecting/reconnecting. 

NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
