Public bug reported:
I am using multiple monitors arranged as shown below:
+------------++------------+
|______3_____||______2_____|
|____________||____________|
+------------++------------+
+---------+
|____1____|
|_________|
+---------+
Monitors 1 and 3 have different resolutions (1920x1080 and 1600x900) and
are arranged so that their right edges align.
When opening a drop down menu (such as the 'File' menu in terminal) that
appears to the top left of a full-screen application on monitor 3, the
drop down menu position is offset horizontally. It is as if menus that
appear at the left of monitor 3 are 'pushed' to the right so that they
are in line with monitor 1.
The attached screen capture shows roughly where the File menu drop down
appears.
Menus on monitors 1 and 2 appear in the expected location.
I imagine this is a problem with GNOME 3, as I never had this problem
with Unity on Ubuntu 16, and it seems to affect all applications.
