Bug Description
Have two monitors arranged side by side. Some applications when used maximised in the right hand monitor, display their menus split across the two monitors.
Not all applications do this.
gnome-terminal (with panel menus disabled) - is OK
libreoffice - is BAD
I don't know if this bug is unique to libreoffice or is in something like compiz.
Using Unity, 12.04 latest beta

Screenshots showing Writer running on each of three monitors
I run three monitors arranged horizontally. When I run Writer on the
Left-hand monitor the various menus act properly. When I move the Writer
main window to the Center Monitor, the menus appear on the Right-hand
monitor and even sub-menus are on the hard left edge of the monitor so they
are placed over each other. When I place the Writer main window on the
Right-hand monitor, the menus appear on the left-hand edge of the right
monitor and are also placed over each other.
I would think the problem lies in an assumption, somewhere in the code,
that there are, at most, two monitors side by side and menu position
calculations are being made accordingly. Below are screenshots of the
Writer window on the three monitors.
