[Bug 1307559] Re: Window decorations not drawn on external monitor

 

I have the same problem with 15.04

main screen is a Lenovo Thinkpad e120
external display is on HDMI, is an older Samsung  16:10 lcd screen

I have a temporary fix for that, which consists in pressing super+P key
- the displays will cycle through configuration possibilities (use both
or display only 1 and set the resolution) - when doing so the displays
will redraw the windows and the window decorations will reapper

it's a bit annoying because I have to do this at every single startup

Title:
  Window decorations not drawn on external monitor

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Window decorations (close / minimize / maximize buttons) do not draw
  on the external monitor on a laptop with external display. Windows on
  the laptop display are not affected.

  UI scale on the built-in display is 1.25; it's 1.0 on the external
  display. I am not sure if this is relevant.

  To reproduce:
  1) Plug in an external monitor to a laptop; ensure that it is running in extended display mode
  2) Launch an application such as the terminal
  3) The terminal launches on the laptop's built-in display. Observe the window decorations draw as expected
  4) Drag the terminal window to the second display

  Expected results;
  The terminal window is drawn on the extended display

  Actual results:
  The terminal window is drawn on the extended display but the close, minimize, and maximize buttons are missing.

  The problem happens on windows from all applications I've tried
  (firefox, terminal, emacs, thunderbird)
