Bug Description

This is mostly just cosmetic, but when I use a second monitor with my laptop, and click the Activities in the upper left-hand corner, it looks like it is missing the bottom half of the icons for the applications, and perhaps other things I'm searching for. See the screenshot attached. It looks fine when I'm using only the builtin monitor on the laptop.
