Ubuntu 12.10 reached end-of-life so it's no longer supported. Can you
still reproduce this bug on 14.04 (or laters)?

Title:
  [REGRESSION] Desktop gone berserk. Can't drag&drop icons outside of a
  very small portion of screen. Switching screens fixes the issue

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Starting from a few minutes ago, the desktop behaves as if the only usable area for icons was about 200-250 px wide.
  If I try to drag an icon and drop it outside of that area (i.e., more to the right than that imaginary nonsense line), it sticks to within that area.

  I am using an external monitor on a laptop, and occasionally
  connect/disconnect it and switch between the external and builtin
  screen, the former being wider. But needless to say, both are a lot
  wider than 250 px.

  Wow, switching monitors forth and back has made the issue go away.
