Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce (Ubuntu 12.04.1):
1.1. Go to System Settings / Hardware / Displays
1.2. Switch "Mirror displays" off.
1.3. Set up different screen resolution for displays
(My case: 1600 x 900 for native laptop monitor and 1920 x 1080 for external
HDMI monitor.)
2. Find or download a wallpaper image with size that corresponds to the
larger resolution (1920 x 1080 in my case).
3.1. Go to System Settings / Personal / Appearance / Look
3.2. Add your wallpaper image and set it as a background.
3.3. Choose "Center" option in the "Tile/Zoom/Center/Scale/..." list.
Result:
The image is fully visible on the display with larger resolution and partly
visible on the smaller display.
There are no any borders (i.e. image spans fully on each display).
Image is not scaled; it is shown with pixel-to-pixel correspondence on both
displays.
4. Reboot the system and login as the same user.
Result:
On the smaller display the result is the same as described above (item 3.3).
On the larger display image is partly visible (visible is exactly the same part
of image
which is visible on the smaller screen); image is not scaled, its part is just
shown with
pixel-to-pixel correspondence at the center of display; around the image there
is a border
that fills space where the rest of the image should be.
Expected result: The same as described in item 3.3.
Workaround:
W.1. Go to System Settings / Personal / Appearance / Look
W.2. Choose "Tile" option in the "Tile/Zoom/Center/Scale/..." list.
W.3. Choose "Center" option in the "Tile/Zoom/Center/Scale/..." list.
W.4. Repeat each time after you log in.
The bug was observed in Ubuntu 11.10, and still persists after upgrade to
Ubuntu 12.04.1.
