[Bug 1373397] [NEW] External monitor scrolling huge virtual buffer with laptop monitor

 

Public bug reported:

- Dell XPS 14Z
- NVidia GeForce GT 520M + Intel i915
- nvidia-prime
- Mini-DP connected to DVI of external HP LP2065 monitor
- Ubuntu 14.04
- nvidia 331 drivers (from Ubuntu repos)

If my external monitor is located at top of laptop screep:
- when I move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the external screen, it scroll the entire screen to show the laptop screen inside the external monitor, just like a huge virtual screen.

If my external monitor is located at right. everything is fine, there is
no scrolling.

I'm not sure this is a bug. I searched the web and could not find a way
to properly fix this. Since the behavior change with the sideways
arrangement I guess is a bug.
