Bug Description

Hello,

I have installed on my laptop Ubuntu 11.10 beta with Unity in a dual-monitor configuration (LVDS + HDMI). Today I undocked my laptop, changed to a single-screen configuration (LVDS only). Later, I switched back to the dual-monitor configuration. After doing so, the indicator menus misbehave. For example, the sound menu opens up over Firefox's "File" menu, the calendar over Firefox's "Edit" menu etc. The attached screenshot should help understand the issue.

Regards,
Cristi.
