Dual monitor selects indicators on both monitors

[Greg A]

Binary package hint: unity

For example, clicking on the messaging menu on the left screen only opens the messaging menu on one screen, however on both screens the envelope is clearly selected.

I would imagine the correct behaviour is for the other screen's indicators to be unaffected.

Confirmed here working with a extended desktop with a fully updated Ubuntu Natty

Sorry for the noise

It's unfortunate, this problem is low priority, because I can't use full screen windows menus. Always show the indicatos instead when I click a menu entry.

Keresztes, are you sure the problem you're experiencing is the one described in this bug?

[Keresztes Tamas (keresztes-tamas-saturnus)]

I have dual monitors, the primary display is on the right side. The indicators shows the center of the full display, what places on the unity menu exactly. When I click the Ubuntu logo, or window close buttons, the indicators catch the clicks, show calendar or something, so I can't close windows, or use Ubuntu menu.

The problem still the same in 11.10.

[Greg A (etulfetulf)]

This bug, as I reported it, has been fixed for a long time (and is certainly fixed in Ubuntu 11.10).

Keresztes, if you're still having a related problem, I suggest you open a new bug or question.
