Summary0017495: Mouse is not bound to edge of screen in multiple monitor setup - Ref: 0016167 w/ new info
DescriptionNot sure what the etiquette on this kind of thing is, but as most of your games have this issue I figured I'd report it as well.

This is a fairly minor issue for most of your games, and I'd say AI war is probably the only one where it annoys me really :)

Downside to this is you'd have to handle the drawing of the mouse cursor and events yourself. Also someone else ran into a similar issue and used ProMouse

 // ****** code for ProMouseControl.cs
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ProMouseControl : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private bool controlMouse;
     
     void Start () {
         ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(Screen.width/2, Screen.height/2);
         controlMouse = true;
     }
 
     void Update () {
         int mouseX = (int)ProMouse.Instance.GetLocalMousePosition().x;
         int mouseY = (int)ProMouse.Instance.GetLocalMousePosition().y;
         if (controlMouse) {
             if ( mouseX <0) {
                 ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(0,mouseY);
             }
             if ( mouseX > Screen.width) {
                 ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(Screen.width,mouseY);
             }
             if ( mouseY <0) {
                 ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(mouseX,0);
             }
             if ( mouseY > Screen.height) {
                 ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(mouseX, Screen.height);
             }
             if (Input.GetKeyUp("escape") ) {
                 Time.timeScale = 0;
                 controlMouse = false;
             }
         } else if (Input.GetKeyUp("escape") ) {
             Time.timeScale = 1;
             ProMouse.Instance.SetCursorPosition(Screen.width/2, Screen.height/2);
             controlMouse = true;
         }
     }
 }

That doesn't actually do what you want, unfortunately -- that is more for an FPS game. It locks the cursor to the center of the screen. You can then move the cursor and the game detects the movement I believe, but not position on the screen. As they note, even for in-game menus you still have to unlock the cursor again.
