When I switch the focused window on a different monitor, the mouse cursor will get stuck for 1+ seconds, even if both windows are on native displays.
If I quit the DisplayLink Manager, the lag disappears.

How can I avoid the issue?

When I turned off the SyncMaster(DisplayLink monitor) on the home tab of the DisplayLink manager app, the lag disappeared, although the manager app itself was still running.

I found that the delay happens when both the DisplayLink manager and BetterTouchTool are running.

If I quit one of them, the delay disappears.

The delay happens even if the BetterTouchTool has no settings right after installation, as well as selecting the [Disable BetterTouchTool For All Apps] option.

But the delay doesn't happen on the Test user account on my Mac.
So... it might be a complicated situation only for me.
