Thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug and there is a setting
for it in the system settings display config ("sticky borders"), the
purpose of the "magnet" effect is to be able to grab the scrollbar on
the right side of a dialog placer on the left screen (without it it
would be tricky to go on the scrollbar line without crossing to the next
screen)
Closing the bug since the effect is there for a reason and there is an
ui option to disable it for users who prefer not having it

Title:
Mouse magnet and multi-monitor
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
There is a mouse magnet at the left side of each monitor for
displaying the launcher. I have a multi-monitor setup and I have the
launcher set to display only on the primary monitor. The unity
launcher mouse magnet is enabled on both monitors even though I only
have the launcher enabled on a single monitor. This is very annoying
when crossing the mouse between monitors. I went into compiz settings
and disabled it.
The mouse magnet should reflect the setting of the launcher to be on a
single display and not trigger on the monitor without a launcher.
There's even an askubuntu page about this:
