All, Sorry to reopen this bug but it still exists in precise. I've attached a simplified patch that has sorted out the issue for me. It's not for inclusion but it's probably good for a quick lead on what a good solution would be. Also this handles both the initial geometry calculation when the panel is instantiated and also the situation when either screen sees a resolution change. I had not mentioned the second part of the problem before. ** Patch added: add slot resize to update the geometry https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+attachment/3240484/+files/use_screen.patch ** Changed in: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-2d in Ubuntu.
