  1. Can't close gaps between multiple displays


    When using my 3 monitor set up as seen in the attached screenshot, I always have a gap between screen 2 & 3.

    What's weird is that if I slowly try to move my curser between that larger gap, it gets stuck on the edge, but if I "rush"(?) the cursor, meaning I move it really quickly from left to right and vice-versa, it can move from one screen to another.

    Is there any tip/trick to "closing the gap" and making all displays flush? Every time I try to rearrange it it either slingshots back to where it was or worse it just jumbles all the displays up.

    Moving the cursor from screens 3 & 2 to screen 1 works perfectly fine.

    For context, my two monitors are exactly the same make/model which is Acer V226HQL which is 21.5 inch and my laptop has a 13.3 inch display.

    Note: I'm sorry if this is a common question, I did search through the subreddit posts and couldn't find it though.
