Public bug reported: I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm running it with the default Unity GUI. I have two monitors and the problem I'm experiencing is that the global menu bar does only appear correctly on my right/second monitor. On that monitor, the global menu bar appears when I hover with the mouse cursor on the bar anywhere to the left of the tray icons, just as expected.
However, on my left/first monitor, the global menu bar does appear almost as on the right monitor. But not when I hover over the area where the menu items are supposed to appear. If I move the mouse a bit to the left or the right of that area, it does appear. Here are two screenshots that maybe are easier to understand: http://i.imgur.com/U3Ps7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fg8JM.jpg My graphics card is an AMD 6870. I'm using the proprietary AMD graphics drivers from Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" window/service. However, this problem was also present with the open source default drivers. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: running-unity ** Description changed: I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm running it with the default Unity GUI.
