Looking at the old messages I did not elaborate on the mouse problems but I did
when I posted the original problem in a message with the subject "Problems with
dual moniters" which got no responses.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 as it comes on the DVD with no customizations on an
ASUS X541S laptop.
Logiteck USB wireless mouse and I did swap them with another system that does
not have a problem.


Both screens display the data as wide screen but there are mouse dropping
everywhere and the cursor does not move smoothly and holding the button down to
drag something it appears as if you are not keeping the button down (bouncing).
Makes it hard to keep track of where the real cursor is located even harder to
drag an object to another location.  At first I thought my mouse was failing so
I tried a different mouse so it is not a mouse problem.  It seems that this
problem has been around for a long time.  My searching did not come up with a
fix.
