Bug Description

Since I installed ubuntu 12.04, I don't care much for the sticky edges, so I want my launcher only on my left screen (my external screen).

Behaviour of the launcher placement setting:
1) All screens: works as expected
2) Laptop: works as expected
3) Kingston Tech Corporation 20" (my external monitor): launcher stays on laptop!

My laptop is a Dell Studio 1557, Intel i5, AMD HD 5470 GPU. I think it is probably related to the fact that most people put there external monitor to the right of there laptop.

I have the reverse problem!

My launcher is always on my external monitor. I configure it to be on my laptop again and next time I log in, it's back on my external monitor. Frustrating!

And my external monitor is to the right of the laptop...

That's strange. I've put my monitor to the right, and now the launcher stays on the left screen, like it should.

Hi,

Does this still occur for you on a more recent Ubuntu version such as 14.04, 14.10, or 15.04?

Thanks!

Since I can't reproduce this issue and no one has said that it still occurs, I'm going to mark this Fix Released. If it does still occur, then this bug report can be reopened or a new one can be opened.

Thanks!
