OK, I think I'm there.  Follow that same path to get to the Edge
Flipping tab.

1. Check: Select the next desktop when pointer hits the screen edge
2. Choose Viewport
3. Uncheck: Only flip when interactively moving a window
4. Choose ms to suit
5. Check or uncheck: Warp pointer to suit

If it is still not working the way you expect, you might be facing a
similar issue I went through a few months ago.  That is my Workspaces
were not configured correctly (to my way of thinking).  In that same
window choose the Workspaces tab.  Choose 1 Workspace, and 2 Columns and
Rows for a 2x2 virtual desktop.

Cheers,
