** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  I'm extending my laptop monitor with a native resolution of 1366×768
  with an external display with a native resolution of 1280×1024. This
  situation is poorly handled.
  
  Here's a representation of my setup, which I mirrored in the Monitor
  configuration:

  The ░ area should not be eligible for mouse placement and desktop icon

- may also be affected but I didn't try them yet.)
