two monitors displayed vertically right clicking on desktop displays no menu on bottom monitor

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce start an LXDE session with one monitor then go into arandr and have your monitors in a setup where there is one monitor over another so moving the mouse on one montior to the top goes to the top monitor and on the bottom of the top goes to the bottom monitor. The context menu showing desktop preferences works for the top monitor. On the bottom monitor there is a small area about 5 pixels tall that shows what might be a menu but then is cut off from view.

xrandr output.

I expected to get what happens when you normally right click on pcmanfm with the desktop.

Instead I got a small cut off menu on the bottom of the second monitor and could not change the wallpaper on this monitor.

This seems to have returned to original behavior of before but itself is an upstream after applying an update to xorg-server 1.15.1 with recent updates. Which itself wasn't quite right but is now part of upstream pcmanfm bug 633.

that was not ment to link to a luanchpad bug this is meant to link to http://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/bugs/633/

This certainly isn't related to mentioned upstream bug because mentioned bug was against 1.0 version and that issue was fixed, just never confirmed by reporter. Your issue seemed to be related to menu positioning problems that were fixed in LibFM 1.2.1, you just need to upgrade your libfm-gtk4 package to fix this bug. Thank you.

Ah that makes sense and is why this bug does not affect utopic.
