Dash is not usable with resolution of 768x1366 (tablet)

[Philipp Wendler]

When the horizontal resolution is very small (e.g., 768px on my convertible in tablet mode), the dash runs off to the screen to the right (cf. screenshot). There is bug #837922 from 2011 which is marked as fixed, but the problem exists on a fresh install of Precise (using unity-3d).
