A video showcasing the bug (both monitor are filmed)

SUMMARY
When the cursor is being moved slowly from one monitor to the next, it will stay on the border in the first monitor and won't go to the second.
I tested several "sides", with one of the monitor being offset with regard to the other or not. I tried to change the resolutions also. The issue remains exactly the same.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set up a dual monitor computer
2. move slowly the mouse to the other monitor

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor stays in the first monitor

EXPECTED RESULT
The cursors should move the same way on the edge as they do everywhere else

Thank you for the bug report!

This is an intentional change to make it easier to access things near the screen edge such as scroll bars or autohiding panels. It does not make sense on every setup, and you can decrease the strength of the effect and turn it off altogether in System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Screen Edges > Edge barrier..

I see, sorry for the false positive, I just disabled it!
Thank you for your quick and kind answer,
God bless,
