Title:
In screen clone mode, the "inner" top-right menu expands to the right,
outside the smaller screen
Status in Unity:
Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When you have two screens of different sizes set up in clone mode, the system tray area, or whatever it is called on the top-right of the screen, is duplicated. One appears at the top-right corner of the bigger screen, and the other at the position corresponding to the top-right corner of the smaller screen, but is obviously visible also in both.
I guess this is by design, though the "inner" one should be enough, and I wonder what happens if the difference between the two screen sizes is not big enough...
However, the biggest problem is that when you expand one of the
dropdown menus in the "inner" tray, it expands to the right, so it is
not always completely visible within the area of the smaller screen.
If the duplication of the system tray is meant to make it visible also
in the inner screen, then this defeats the very purpose of its
existence, rendering it useless.
The correct behavior would be: the "inner" menu should behave as if the smaller screen (for which it is meant) was the only available area.
Also, the "outer" one (the one on the right) is probably unnecessary and maybe should be removed altogether.
