[Bug 656855] Re: Desktop icons and the mouse may reside in areas that are covered by no monitor.

 

bp, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity
in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so,
could you please test for this with the latest development release of
Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-
live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release,
performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Desktop icons and the mouse may reside in areas that are covered by no
  monitor.

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm extending my laptop monitor with a native resolution of 1366×768
  with an external display with a native resolution of 1280×1024. This
  situation is poorly handled.

  Here's a representation of my setup, which I mirrored in the Monitor
  configuration:

  ╔════════╤════════╗
  ║░░░░░░░░│▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒║
  ║░░░░░░░░│▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒║

  ╚═════════╧═══════╝

  ▓ laptop monitor
  ▒ external monitor
  ░ area that is not covered by any monitor
  ═ shape of the virtual desktop
  ─ shape of the area that is actually covered by monitors

  The ░ area should not be eligible for mouse placement and desktop icon
  placement, but it is in Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 under GNOME (including
  Unity). Other desktop systems may also be affected but I didn't try
  them all.
