Please fix an issue where I am focused on my MW:O client yet my mouse is able to go out of bounds of that focus and reaches my second monitor. This has been severely frustrating to be in the middle of a fire fight and then suddenly unable to control or shoot anything because the game client has failed to keep my mouse in bounds.
I would rather not have to reconfigure my system to a single monitor every time I want to play.

It's because you tabbed out or were using another window while it loaded. Like when I'm forum warring while loading is loading.
Simple fix. When you get into a match, INTENTIONALLY move the mouse outside the game and click. This will FORCE focus onto the other monitor. Go back into MWO and click your ZOOM mouse key so you don't shoot someone. Now your mouse is locked back to the mech controls and will not leave the game. This works for me.
Unless you have some extremely eccentric problem otherwise, all the issues I've noticed with dual monitor support in MWO were because I was forking around with something else instead of patiently monotasking MWO.

This has happened to me a number of times, however, your fix doesn't work. Yes you have control of your mech, but the mouse is still on the screen, so if you "twist" too far to the right, the mouse goes off of the MWO screen, so when you go to fire you click off the screen and MWO minimizes....

This fix is not workable. I have since discovered that the issue may actually lie with Google.
If you are logged into Google services and are off-focus from there, something like an incoming Instant Message will steal the focus. So while I am still "playing" in my MW:O window, Firefox/Chrome/etc... has hijacked the focus so my mouse cursor will appear and make it "easier" to see what is incoming.
