Bug Description

After last upgrade which included an unity upgrade: amd64 (4.18.0-0ubuntu1, 4.20.0-0ubuntu1) my desktop is shifted down and to the right reducing the usable space. The black unusable space where the desktop has shifted from can still have windows overtop of it, however they leave their image as a shadow copy.

Best explained by screenshot, which accurately captured what I see, also attached.
