It does? That does sound annoying, especially if the pointer is somewhere at the edge of the screen. It's been a while since I used VS, which version does this, or was it always like that? The other ones, I've got used to them, I don't even notice it happens.

Hate to say it, but this all sounds like PEBKAC. Features 2 and 3 were based off feedback - I was one of said "jackasses" who asked for feature 2 because this is incredibly useful and I have never seen 1, having used every version of Visual Studio since VS97.

1. Are you sure that's Microsoft's fault; never happened to me (C++ or C# projects)? 2. One of the more useful features of Windows, I use it all the time. 3. Another useful feature of Windows, although I use it less often.

"Aero Snap" can be disabled from the Control Panel (the proper one, not the "don't-call-it-Metro" Windows 8 one). Ease of Access -> Make the mouse easier to use -> Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen (In W8.1, the label is "Change how your mouse works".)

"Aero Shake" can be disabled through Group Policy[^], or by setting a registry key[^].

One of our apps at work makes this behavior pretty obvious--it takes a while to load (lots of slow initialization to do, including connecting to a database), so I tend to mouse around while it's loading. Eventually the splash screen comes up on whichever monitor the mouse happens to be on when it's ready to show itself.

Thanks. I turned this "feature" off. Not sure how everyone got Visual Studio off of this because I never mentioned VS
