Title:
  Choosing windows with vertically-stacked monitors

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

Bug description:
  When running Unity with stacked monitors (laptop display on the
  bottom, external monitor above), the window-picker sometimes clusters
  the available-windows directly over the split between the two
  monitors.

  I've observed this happen when I use the meta-W key to pick windows as
  well, so this is presumably a Compiz bug?  Does Compiz provide the
  picker that lets you pick between the windows in an application?

  My description is a little bit vague, since I'm new to Unity and I'm
  not quire sure where Compiz ends and Unity begins.  I have, however,
  attached a screenshot showing the problem.  Hitting "print screen"
  brought the "System Settings" window, so I'd like to direct your
  attention away from that window, and toward the upside-down (and
  unpickable) windows near the middle of the screenshot.

  To reproduce:
  1. Run Unity in a configuration with a large monitor on the top, and a smaller monitor on the bottom.
  2. Open an application that uses multiple windows, such as Chrome or Thunderbird and open several windows.
  3. Click on the application's icon in the dock.
  4. Observe the windows floating in the least pickable place on the desktop (right between the two screens, and underneath the indicator applet).
  5. Try to pick a window.  Windows may be unpickable.

  I've been trying to figure out if I should call this one intermittent.
  It doesn't happen all of the time but, I can't remember if it's
  intermittent and starts happening after a few minutes of uptime, or if
  it's changed with a recent update.  In any case, it's happening pretty
  consistently now.

  BTW, I'm really enjoying running this beta and being a peripheral part
  of this process!
