[Bug 880737] Re: Unity tray icons on dual-monitor doesn't expand in width enough on one of screens

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates.

The way indicators are shown in both monitors is a feature, so if you
have a specific request about a change you could file a wishlist. The
double battery indicator that you mention was a bug that was fixed long
ago.

Please fill free to reopen the bug (by marking the Status as "Confirmed"
again) if you feel there is something still unsolved with respect to
these issues.

Title:
  Unity tray icons on dual-monitor doesn't expand in width enough on one
  of screens

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have two monitors  - one laptop LCD with 1600x900 and external LCD
  with 1680x1050. Running 11.10 on Nvidia Quadro FX880M with TwinView
  enabled.

  Firstly, I am not sure whether it is bug or not but top bar (with tray
  icons, calendar, etc.) is shown twice on both screens....

  If it is feature, then I am experiencing this bug: On the narrower
  (laptop LCD) Unity's tray icons doesn't expand enought to make room
  for all icons. Also battery indicator icon is shown twice. On the
  wider screen (external) it's rendered perfectly.

  Later, I've also noticed that this bug is only when main X screen
  (wider one) is on the right of laptop LCD (narrower one). If main X
  screen (wider one) is on the left of laptop LCD (narrower one) than
  tray icon area is rendered perfectly.

  Please see attached screenshot of narrower screen's notification area
  how odly icons are shrinked and (some) duplicated.
