I run dual monitors. Even when I run the game in fullscreen mode it sometimes acts as if it is in windowed mode, letting my mouse cursor go onto my other monitor screen, which then alt-tabs me out of the game in the middle of combat. I'm also having some issues where my mouse cursor is showing up in game when I have something open on my secondary monitor.

Sorry, can't find the reference, but I think dual monitors is a known issue at the moment, will wait for those much smarter than me to weigh in.

I run dual monitors too, I have a setup using a GTX 560 for the primary and I have tried everything else to run the secondary..
Unfortunately Fermi cards go full 3D clocks (temperature and consumption) even running simple desktop dual monitors, therefore I've tried with a DisplayLink USB adapter and then I've switched over the Intel HD 4000 of my i5 3570k.
I personally have the fullscreen option on, and it's rare that I experiment the mouse cursor getting out in the secondary monitor alt-tabbing the game; I suggest to alt+enter getting in windowed, click the mwo game window and then alt+enter again, that should fix it. I experienced this issue when I was using windowed mode to solve my troubles.
MWO cursor on screen is something that happens also to people with single monitors.
My troubles are that no matter what I do, MWO runs at 60 fixed FPS (I've tried disabling vsync, editing xml and user cfg) and I experience stuttering issues on Caustic, some on frozen and on forest and River City only in certain areas. The only way to obtain vsync off, is to play windowed mode, but then the tearing is incredible and.. the stutter is still there. Tourmaline/Alpine runs totally smooth instead.
I've tried any driver around but all the issues arise due to the simple presence of the secondary monitor, no matter if I run it via the nvidia card, from the DisplayLink or from the Intel IGP. When I run single monitor, everything is fine..

I run dual monitors, and can't say that I've ever had a problem with MWO on them.

Dual monitors here as well, GTX 570, running fullscreen on one and have the other one open either with video or chat.
However I have not encountered this problem before.

didn't encounter the cursor running out of the game and tabing me out of it for a while. The cursor appearing during battles however: yes.
i think it occurs when you tab out and back in

Once in a blue moon my cursor does wander off to the second screen during combat, but it happens so rarely, I cant tell what causes it. Running a HD6850 here.
