Ubuntu GNOME desktop glitch on multuple monitors

I do not even know how to describe this issue, I tried to search for it, but any of the wordings I tried seems to fail...

I am using Ubuntu 22.04; before this, I was using 20.04; the problem carried on to both. I did not find any answer before, so I let it go, but it became annoying, and I wanted to solve it. I am using GNOME as my desktop env.

When I drag on my main desktop (about 10 inches bigger than my second screen), I get a secondary drag starting on my secondary screen?? I don't know how to describe it, so I will show it.

How do I fix this...

Here is the output for lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display':

kothar@kothar-ubuntu:~$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

(I could not try anything as I do not have much expertise on Linux distros. This is a fresh install of Linux, so I don't think it is something I have installed.)

Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'` terminal command.

I have no idea how to fix it, but that's a cool and helpful video.

Try another driver, e.g. 515

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
