** Description changed:
Binary package hint: unity
When there are two monitors arranged vertically, a menu bar appears at
top of the lower display. This menu bar is difficult to use, as the
mouse pointer can easily overshoot it. (It loses the benefit of Fitt's
law here). The menu bar at the top does not correspond with the selected
window if it is on the bottom display.
- Also, windows launching on the bottom display frequently have their
- titlebar under the menu bar and therefore are difficult to move. For me
- on first launch LibreOffice had two rows of pixels of internal menu bar
- visible under this menu bar, and the tile bar could not be seen at all.
- The menu above LibreOffices's window was Nautilus'.
-
I have an 1280 by 800 pixel internal laptop display with a 1280 by 1024
external display above it. This bug occurs on the 11.04 Desktop live CD.
For best usability, I don't think there should be a menu bar or panel in
the middle of the virtual desktop.
** Summary changed:
- Menu bar appears in the middle of the virtual desktop with vertical displays
+ MenuBar becomes difficult to access in the lower display when in a vertical
multimonitor setup
