Rockwalrus, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
+ Did this problem occur with nouveau?
+ Did this problem occur in a release prior to Utopic?
+ Did this problem occur in a version of the nvidia driver prior to 331.113?
+ Does this problem occur with the latest version of the nvidia driver following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?

** Tags added: latest-bios-1.42

** Description changed:

  When using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, the output from one window is
- often stretched to cover both by Unity.  Other window managers don't
- have this problem, and if you manually configure the display output
- locations and sizes in ccsm, Unity displays it correctly.  One thing
- that I noticed is that the standard xrandr-based Displays panel in
- System Settings shows both outputs, but nvidia-settings shows only the
- external monitor.
