Summary: Jerky cursor movement with 2 monitors

Initial Comment:
My computer has two monitors, giving an "extended desktop".  With an empty Jmol 
window nearly maximized on one monitor, the mouse moves the cursor smoothly.  
But, if the Jmol window is positioned so that part of the window is on the 
second monitor, then the mouse movement is extremely jerky:  when the mouse is 
moved across the window at a "normal" speed, the cursor position only updates 4 
or 5 times.  (If this can't be reproduced, then the problem may be related to 
my using a Microsoft 5-button Intellimouse optical mouse.)  If the problem is 
with Java, then there is nothing to do.  I think I perceive the problem with a 
Jmol applet in a web page (when the page spans monitors), but the applet window 
is small, making the detection of the jerky motion subjective.  
It is peculiar that an empty window would have trouble updating the screen.  
Perhaps exploring this will lead to a way to improve Jmol's performance (which 
is already in the wow! category).

Message:
I was able to reproduce the behavior on a classroom computer with a
computer projector as the second monitor.  That computer had a lower
resolution than my office monitor.  Also, the classroom computer has a
regular 3-button mouse, so the mouse is not the cause of the behavior.
