Tab out of the game and go back into the game. The issue is with the game starting in minimalized version - i had the same. tabbing out of the game and going back in constraints the cursor.

its not needed, the game does constrain cursor, it is not an issue with the game itself but how it launches. If they fix so it launches fullscreen as it should it'll get fixed as well.

glad to help.

I found a solution ... Dual Monitor Tools. Nice little programs, FREE!
http://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/

Before you start a game you will press a key combination (which you will configure below). This will lock the mouse inside the screen; it will not be able to go to any of your other monitors until you press that same key combination again. In doing this it also locks your mouse inside the game.

The program comes as a zip file and requires no installation. To use the application simply unzip it to a directory of your choice.

Step 1) Open the directory you just extracted the zip to
Step 2) Double click “SwapScreen.exe”
Step 3) Right click Swap Screen next to your clock
Step 4) Left click Options
Step 5) Left click on the “Cursor” tab
Step 6) Go down under “Lock Cursor onto screen” and click “Change”. Now select a key combination of your choice.
Step 5) Click close.

or just tab out of the game and go back into it
that fixes it too

Thanks, Silvi! I didn't see your post before I had the issues with Tropico 5, but I did try it in another game I have issues with and it didn't work.

[Silvi the Bun]

xD very true. I think the issue was related to game starting in minimalized setting from the start. T5 had a very shaky release because of that :c

I was wrong ... the problem is NOT fixed. It seemed like it was until I really got into playing my game. Still having the same issues.

But the program I wrote about DOES work. So guess that's what I'll be using.

Is there a solution to this issue on Linux ? Alt-tabbing out does not help.

Thanks for the ALT+TAB tip and the app Dual Monitor Tools suggestion. :)
