I typically use 1280 x 720 resolution easier for me to read.  
That's a resolution where after last week's update the screen is shifted left, black margin on the right, and unity buttons fall off the left.  Hide is off.
If I change to 1368 x 768 the unity buttons are visible.
The monitor will actually support 1920 x 1080 but I'd have to use a magnifying glass.

Looks like X doesn't support resolutions it used to for this hardware.  
Wily Display options in settings:
1920 x 1080
1360 x 768
1280 x 960
1280 x 720 my preferred for readability
1024 x 768
800 x 600

If I shift back to a Wily a month old works with that level kernel.
Looks like X  + linux has dropped support of 1280 x 720.

BTW, at the moment this is 14.04 LTS. Runs great.  I'll shift back to
doing battle with Wily later today.
