Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I am running Karmic (gnome) with an ATI Radeon x300 PCIE and two Dell
LCDs. My screen is setup as "Virtual 3600 1200" in xorg.conf.

Some application UI elements go missing if placed too far on the right
monitor. They re-appear if I drag the application window to the left of
this magic line (~2600px from the left edge of the overall virtual
desktop, ~1/2 way across my right screen).

Examples - tooltips in OpenOffice, text in some wine apps, some icons in
gnome system notification area.

I was previously running the ATI proprietary driver under Jaunty with
the same Xorg setup and had no problems. I was forced to switch to
"xserver-xorg-video-ati" as ATI have dropped support for this card under
their driver.

Please let me know if I can supply further info. I will attach my
xorg.conf.
