This just gets even weirder the more I test it out. Swapping the two
monitors (i.e. swapping the HDMI ports used for each monitor) seems to fix
the issue completely on my VM (at least from 1 minute of testing), but on
the host it fixes some of the issues (my cursor still disappears on one of
my monitors).
