[Bug 1460328] [NEW] Parts of screen out of view

 

Public bug reported:

The extreme edges of the screen are out of view.  For example, the icons
on the far left of my screen (system settings and fire fox for example)
are cut off.  I am using a VISIO 26 inch TV screen with an HDMI
interface to my AMD video card.  I have tried various screen resolutions
and sizes available, but have not found on that solves the problem.
