[Bug 805759] [NEW] windows go blank when they are too big

 

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded my 10.10 Install to 11.04. I use two monitors, one is
1920x1200, and the other is 1280x800. When a window is on the
small(laptop) monitor, it can be maximised fine, but when I try and
maximise or make a window larger than somewhere around 1280x800, the
window goes solid white. It still responds to input, but I just can't
see anything. I say around 1280x800, because if you have two windows on
the large screen and make one too big, the other can go white as well.

Everything else is fine, performance is good, and the menus never
disappear.
