Mouse cursor changes location when switching workspaces with hotkey

[rgegriff]

(1) Issue/Bug Description:
If I switch workspaces using a keyboard combination (currently bound to mouse buttons) while the mouse cursor is on the primary display (the display that has workspaces) the mouse disappears from it's current location. It seems to get moved to the secondary screen.

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):
On my setup:

• have two displays
• have pop-shell extension enabled
• Workspaces don't span monitors (are only on primary monitor)
• use keybindings to switch next/previous workspace
• mouse cursor is on primary display when I trigger workspace change

(3) Expected behavior:
I expect the mouse cursor to remain in the exact same place in screen-space as it was prior to the switch

Sound like you're having the same issue as described here. Disabling this setting should fix the issue.
