This has shown up as a problem with the Demo, so I suspect that it will apply with the live version.

My PC has two 24" Dell monitors on one NVIDIA GTX 560Ti card. Works beautifully with two 1920x1200 side-by-side displays.

With G&K I just run that on the left hand display at 1920x1200 and can use the right-hand display for anything else, switching with Alt-Tab. Within G&K as I scroll the mouse across the display, when it reaches the edge of it the image will then scroll. That works on all 4 edges, so the mouse does not move from the left monitor to the right monitor.

With BNW this functionality has changed. Top, left and bottom works as before. But on the right edge the mouse will roll across onto the right monitor, rather than staying on the left monitor. Moving it slowly, it is possible to sometimes get the map to scroll, but is easier to click and grab on it to move it.

This is similar to a problem I have with TW:Napoleon, which behaves the same way but is worse since the map cannot be grabbed and scrolled. With that I need to disable the right monitor and run the system with only one effective monitor.

I don't recall that I had to make any configuration settings in Civ when I got the new card and monitors, or with G&K when I got that last year. When I get BNW running I will look through the video settings and compare them against the G&K settings.
 
Looks like it was only problem with the Demo - it is working OK in the real BNW system.

Could not see any settings within the Civ Options to match your suggestion - was that supposed to be a Windows mouse setting?
