Re: multi-monitor mouse bug on PC version?

I have three monitors, only one of which I play the game from (the other two are USB). A frustrating bug moves my mouse cursor to one of my side monitors mid battle causing me to exit fullscreen. It happens multiple times in most battles.
Unlike ALL other games, including bioware titles like Mass Effect 3, DAI allows the mouse cursor to wander freely between monitors even when playing fullscreen on only one. I have to use the utility "CursorLock" to keep the cursor on my main monitor. However, even with CursorLock, a bug still causes my mouse cursor to move over a monitor. I have verified that the cursor does not pan off the screen, I have seen the mouse cursor instantly jump from the middle of the main monitor to one of my side monitors (instanlty exiting me from fullscreen). I am playing a rogue with bow and arrow, it typically happens in battle when there is a lot of action. It never happens outside of battle.

Have you tried disabling your other monitors? just for when you play the game?

Are you using extended desktop, or surround/eyefinity?

If you are using surround/eyefinity, switch to just an extended desktop.

Also, what mouse are you using?

I know for a fact that the Logitech M510 has a manufacturing defect that can cause this,

or over time it will stop responding altogther.

Of course disabling the other monitors will prevent it from happening but that is a terrible solution. I am using extend desktop using DisplayLink. I've got a logitech mouse but I game quite a bit and this NEVER has happened with any other game including other Bioware titles, so it leads me to believe this is a problem with DAI.
CursorLock does work to keep my mouse inside the one monitor, HOWEVER, as mentioned there is some bug that when you are clicking the mouse a lot in battle (think madly clicking to shoot arrows), it will all of sudden put the mouse cursor one monitor over, even if I am clicking the middle of the proper monitor.
