** Description changed:

- Hi all,
+ When using Unity with two windows of the same size open, activating
+ compiz's 'scale' causes inconsistent padding at either sides of the
+ screen. This is because the scale plugin does not factor the Unity
+ launcher's width into the calculations; therefore, the left edge of the
+ screen has less padding than the right edge.
  
- While testing out Unity (Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2) I found out then when I
- have multiple application windows, let's say 2 Chrome windows open, and
- when I click on the left side of the app dock icon/indicator (2
- dots/triangles), firing the scaling compiz plugin for the windows of
- that application, the scaling considers the whole screen (namely width)
- and sometimes windows can get under the dock and just feels strange.
+ The problem detailed with measurement:
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/766191/+attachment/2457195/+files/pic1.png
  
  I think scaling should be done considering the screen width minus the
- dock widht.
+ dock width.
+ 
+ How it looks currently: http://people.ubuntu.com/~andyrock/prova2.png
+ How it should look: http://people.ubuntu.com/~andyrock/prova.png
  
  This may seem very tricky to pull out since scale is a compiz plugin and
  so on, but, again, like it is and when windows get under the dock, it
  feels strange.
  
  Cheers.

** Summary changed:

- Multiple application windows scaling considering the whole screen, should consider screen minus dock width
+ Unity's launcher causes Compiz's 'scale' plugin to inaccurately pad the right/left edges of the screen
