[Bug 1685167] [NEW] Dialog boxes positioned off-screen (hence unusable) on multi-monitor setup with different vertical resolutions
Public bug reported:
SETUP
* Ubuntu 17.04 using Unity 7.
* Multi-monitor setup, where the vertical resolutions of the
monitors are different.
* compiz version 1:0.9.13.1+17.04.20170109-0ubuntu1
PROBLEM
Dialog boxes are positioned in the "invisible space" above the smaller
monitor. Hence the dialog boxes are unusable.
FURTHER INFORMATION
In my case, my left monitor (the monitor built into my laptop) is
1600x900 and my right monitor is 1920x1200. Their bottom edges are
aligned. Ubuntu places dialogs in the "invisible space" above my laptop
screen. Here's a diagram of the situation:
-- 3 -- |###############|
------- |###############|
|#######||###### 2 ######|
|## 1 ##||###############|
|#######||###############|
Key: 1 = my 1600x900 laptop monitor
2 = my 1920x1200 external monitor
3 = "invisible space" where Ubuntu positions dialog boxes
I don't remember this happening in 16.10 or before. This problem
started when I upgraded to 17.04.
This problem is not fixed by setting the launcher to display on the
larger monitor.
WORK AROUNDS
* Use Gnome 3 instead of Unity 7 (with a multi-monitor setup).
* Use Unity 7 with a single monitor.
---------------
[Test Case]
1. Use Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity 7.
2. Use at least two monitors with different vertical resolutions.
3. Trigger a dialog box (e.g. start a browser and hit CTRL-S to open a save window)
