Title:
Popup windows appear on wrong monitor
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a multimonitor setup with an external monitor above the laptop
monitor, both physically and configured via the System Settings /
Displays. The laptop (lower) monitor is configured to be the primary
monitor according to ~/.config/monitors.xml, but note that unity
ignores this and always treats the external (top) monitor as the
primary one.
Popup windows always appear on the lower monitor, so when an
application window is on the top monitor, they are not at all obvious
to the user (instead, for modal popup windows, the application appears
to have crashed because it is unresponsive).
Obviously, popup windows should appear on the same monitor as the
application that launches them.
Applications displaying this behaviour include firefox (eg the enter
master password window), nautilus (eg the empty trash confirmation
window), and update-manager (eg the run partial upgrade now window).
