Bringing up the inventory on dual monitor setup causes mouse cursor to move outside of the game monitor
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

When you bring up the inventory with Tab on a dual monitor setup the mouse cursor can be moved off the monitor running the game and onto the second monitor instead of being locked to the game monitor.
This can cause you to click off the game and possibly produce an Alt+Tab effect of minimizing the game to taskbar.
Its also annoying to see my cursor rampaging across my second monitor

Yup noticed this too. It happens pretty much 80% of the time. You gotta drag the mouse all the way over from 2nd monitor back to the game, or it minimizes the game due to you clicked 'outside' of the game.

Just to add. I also play with dual monitors but have not noticed this. Having said that, I use a program called Actual Multiple Monitors (which I recommend if you haven't tried it!)

Yup, confirmed and really frustrating.

behaviour also exhibited when pressing the 'P' key to bring up the player list
