Does the pointer get stuck as the screen edge? so you can't move it anywhere else anymore?

No, it is not getting stuck, it is being "magnetized" and there is no reason for it to do so, no window, nothing being draged. So the behaviour I would expect to be there when I drag a window or a window border to the edge of the screen, also hapens when there is nothing at all, no window on any screen displaying. - It only happens when the mouse is not moved fast enough.
This is a new feature in 6.1.0 to assist with tiling windows to screen edges or accidentally the pointer to another screen. If you don't like it, you can reset the edge barrier value in screen edge system settings.

OK, it can actually be argued as "its not a bug, but a feature", I understand. But shouldnt the behaviour of sticky borders be limited to windows resizing/dragging? - Thats why I reported this as a bug. - Because that would actually make sense, not that the screen borders are always sticky, but only when it is actually of use.
Interactive move resize is just one of the use cases. Another use case is showing auto hide panels between screens.

Would it be possible to have these as separate enable/disable options in the Settings? Dont want to go to far on this, but as an idea: Maybe activating hidden panels could be realized by having a type of blurr zone. What I mean with this is when the mouse pointer approaches the edge of the screen, and I then pull it a bit away again (Staying on the same screen) it activates the hidden panel. - A bit like a gesture for touch, where you pull from the edge into the screen to "pull out" the hidden panel. - This could be a distinction between the requirement of a sticky edge, and the possibility to unhide a hidden panel. - It would feel more natural, and probably be more easy to integrate with touch gestures as well. - This way the sticky border could be limited to actually active use cases, and not interrupt the mose movement unintentionally. BTW: I noticed, in corners, the mouse pointer is extremly sticky. Also, if I dont have any hidden panel at that edge, wouldnt it make sense to actually disable the stickyness on that edge as long as I am not dragging anything of relevance?
