Launcher - Inserting items into launcher makes unnecessary animations on other monitors

[Joshua R. Poulson]

Setup: two monitors side by side with nvidia-current/nvidia-settings "twinview" mode.

Unlock firefox from launcher
Search for firefox, grab the icon and insert it into the launcher
The launcher on both monitors will spread to indicate possible placement of the icon for firefox, but it really should only spread on the current monitor.
When complete, the firefox icon is added to both monitors, but the animation is a streak of the icon across the left monitor into the launcher, which seems disturbing.

John says critical, seeing the other issues we have, I'll put it as "High"

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

this http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/trunk/revision/1947 might have fixed the issue, atm can't test multimonitor though.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

no, it's not fixed.

[Angelo Compagnucci (angeloc)]

Which should be the desired behaviour?

I'm testing with unity trunk (rev 2112) and a multimonitor setup, I think there is no problem.

When I drag an icon from dash to launcher, an empty space it's created on both launchers, signalling that the icon will be inserted on that place on both launchers. The animations works great, both sliding and inserting one.

I think that this bug could be closed.
