[Bug 1512394] Re: Desktop icons are places outside visible area on a dual monitor system.
Maxim, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t440s an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.35). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Desktop icons are places outside visible area on a dual monitor
system.
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Some of the desktop icons are placed outside of the visible area. It
seems as if the actual desktop area is greater than what is displayed
by the screen.
I have a dual monitor setup. The primary screen is connected to the
VGA port of my laptop. The laptop's screen is configured as secondary
and is placed on the left.
The native resolution of both screens is 1920x1080. However, since the
built in screen of my laptop is small, it is set to 1360x768. The
primary screen is set to its native resolution.
If I sort the icons by name, the are moved to the secondary screen
with the lower resolution and some of the icons are out of the visible
range so I cannot access them.
If I change the resolution of the secondary screen to its native
resolution, I do find the icons in the top corner of the desktop.
