Hi,
I use a MacBook Air (2019) with a Planar PX27710MW HD 27-inch monitor. My setup is in the way where my MacBook Air is at the Bottom right corner (see attached image). For some reason, the software is restricting me to move my cursor to some areas of the screen on the MacBook Air (see youtube link). The Planar monitor is the main monitor, and the Air display is secondary. Is this something to be fixed in a later update?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Hello MacBookAirRetina,
It seems like you are unable to move your cursor on certain parts of the screen, specifically the top menu bar on your Mac. In the screenshot, it seems like the menu bar is set on the display and not the Mac. Did you move the menu bar settings? Also, if you place the 2 displays side by side, are you still having that same behavior?

It looks like some kind of arithmetic glitch in calculating the screen dimensions... probably one corner case (no pun intended) that is hard to reproduce exactly.
You could use feedback to report it:
I imagine that you have this configuration probably because it matches the physical location of your displays.
Your two displays apparently only contact at the common vertex.
I wonder if just slightly increasing the contact area between the two displays (e.g. by sliding one just a bit up, or the other just a bit down) will be an acceptable compromise that will make the problem not occur.
My settings are in "extended desktop" mode, and mission control settings are in "each display has its own space", so the menu bar appeares on my external display and macbook air display. I did rearange my desk setup now, and my macbook air is now side by side to my external display, and the glitch is no longer there
Is this in Big Sur, or you have you just co-opted the desktop background?
If this is Big Sur, you should not discuss it here, but report the bug in the proper channel.
Beta software is not to be discussed here, as per the rules of the forum.
If this is in Catalina, I tried setting my displays in a similar configuration, but could not reproduce the problem.
This is not in Big Sur, I just set the wallpaper like that because I like the Big Sur Wallpaper
You can tell by the menu bar, it isnt translucent, and the dock in the end, isnt floating
