[Tantibus Vulgaris <tantibus.vulgaris@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 331.113 I have experienced distorted desktop. I have
also experienced the same problem after trying to upgrade to 14.10 and
that's why I've reverted to backup of 14.04.

I is quite strange. Unity controls are ok. I.e. Dash and panel on top
look ok. But desktop itself and application windows are stretched to
multi-monitor setup. If I arrange monitors side by side, desktop and
applications are distorted horizontally. If I arrange them top to
bottom, desktop is distorted vertically.

It is interesting, that even screenshot is taken "as is", i.e. showing
distortion.

On my current setup I have Dash on both (or three) screens and top panel
repeating. In the screenshot with distortion, however, there's only one
Dash and top panel is not visible (only line seen) on laptop screen.

Mouse cursor is ok, but it is impossible to point to correct location on
desktop or application window: some "hit and miss" involved.

I am using Nvidia Optimus with nvidia-prime and lightdm for dual or
three monitor setup (with docking station), laptop screen running on
Intel card.

I suppose this might be simply old configuration files or some package
version, that is not compatible with 331.113. I've reverted to 331.38
and everything's ok. Note, that upgrading to 14.10 had exactly the same
effect.
