What does ConfineFullScreenMouseCursor actually do?

Heya;

I've been struggling with mouse behavior when the game is in fullscreen mode and two monitors are in use... I saw some mention in the forums of the ConfineFullScreenMouseCursor setting in UserPreferences.ini. What exactly does it do?

Essentially it keeps the mouse cursor from breaking out past the edge of the screen when your in full screen mode. Due to settings with full screen this option is to keep it bound within the full screen window so that you don't inadvertently click to attack but since you're outside the game Window area technically, Windows sees the click as a choosing a different window thereby minimizing the game to switch to the desktop or whatever window was up behind the game that was clicked on.
