Title:
Vertical dual monitor setup with main monitor on bottom causes
overview to only use one eigth of screen
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Very recently I have started experiencing a constant bug of the app
overview / search functions of gnome shell being entirely unusable
because shell operates at such a tiny scale that barely anything is
shown on screen.
I managed to narrow the problem down to having something to do with
dual monitors, and then played around a bit with the settings. My
results are that no matter what other configuration I set my two
monitors in, gnome-shell operates perfectly. That is, if my secondary
monitor is on the left, right or below my primary one, all is well.
If, however, the secondary monitor is set to be on top of the primary
one (As it physically is in my current setup), then the overview and
app search functionality starts using some very weird kind of vertical
scaling and becomes unusable. The window previews are so small that
the (most of the time invisible) X button is bigger than the window
itself, thus only making me able to close the windows instead of
switching to them or moving them. Application search only shows half
of the first row, the other half fading away.
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa (development branch) and version
3.36.0-2ubuntu1 of gnome-shell.
Here are screenshots of my problem:

When you mouse-over the windows many times over and over you might get the X
button to show
