Public bug reported:
I just install the desktop Ubuntu 12.04-LTS yesterday, hoping to get of a
problem that has prevented a number of operations. Here is my setup:
Ubuntu 12.04-LTS, latest as of yesterday.
VMWare Player version VMware-Player-5.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle
As a guest in Player: Windows 7.
Ubuntu in primary monitor, full-screen VMWare with Windows in secondary monitor.
Problem: There is a black bar at the top that has no use, but blocks the
top of my Windows screen that covers up and shadows the essential
(typically menu) information at the top. For a number of Windows
applications, having access to the top is absolutely essential, so this
a show stopper for me. I had the same problem in Ubuntu 13.04, so I was
hoping that 12.04-LTS would solve the problem, but no, it does not.
My work around is to shut down the Windows guest, reboot he computer and
use Windows as the main OS, and Ubuntu as a guest, but that is not what
I hoped I could do with Ubuntu.
Please make it a choice whether the second monitor has that bar. If a
window in the second monitor has focus, the associated menu items can
still be shown in the first monitor, so there would be no functionality
lost.
