My current workaround for this bug is, to bring a window "allways on top" on my secondary monitor. This seems preventing the unity top menu bar for beeing visible on top of a running "full screen" application.
For single windows (applications) like VMware player, it is simple to configure. Just right click on a window title bar and stick this window "allways on top" within the settings. Then change this window to full screen mode. However for some applications like LibreOffice Presentations, it is more tricky, because a full screen presentation (F5) open a child window which is not automatically "allways on top", even if configured in LibreOffice settings. This can be workaround'ed by using compizconfig-settings-manager (/usr/bin/ccsm) if installed. start CCSM - Navigate to section "Window Management" - enable "Window Rules" plugin - define a "Above" rule for your windows you want to have allways on top for example if you want VMware player, VMware workstation and the LibreOffice 3.4 presenter window classes always on top, then the "Above" rule is: (class=Vmplayer) | (class=Vmware) | (class=LibreOffice 3.4) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883478 Title: Unable to hide top menu bar on secondary monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/883478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
