Public bug reported:
I think this is a metacity bug, but I am not sure. My apologies in
advance if I am sending this to the wrong place.
Please have a look at the attached screenshot. I am using a dual monitor
setup. The external monitor is on the right and has resolution 1280x1024
(for the sake of the screenshot I just opened a terminal in that
screen). The laptop monitor is on the left with resolution 1024x768, and
has firefox open.
When I click on an icon at the bottom status bar (this one happens to be
from the stylish extension), to popup menu appears below the window, in
an area which is *not visible* to me. As far as I know, there is no way
to somehow move the screen and see this area. I have to resize firefox
and click that button again.
If I understand it correctly, the problem is because the firefox window
touches the bottom of screen physically (the part that I can see) but
not logically (pixel-wise). Metacity shouldn't place anything in that
"dead" part of the screen.
In constract, if I move firefox to the right screen, and its bottom edge
touches the bottom of the screen (both physically and logically) then
there isn't a problem, and the popup menu appears above the button, as
expected.
