Bug Description
Installation: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with xfce desktop
Hardware: Dell Latitiude laptop (monitor 1600x900, 60.1Hz) with Dell 23" monitor (1920x1080, 60.0Hz) plugged into the VGA port
Configuration:
- in "Display" settings, both monitors (Laptop and Dell 23") being used, Dell 23" above Laptop, no mirroring, no rotation, no reflection, do configure new displays when connected
- 6 Workspaces
- top and bottom panels on the Dell23, with Workspace Switcher applet added to far right of bottom panel
- Workspace Switcher applet settings: 2 rows, show miniature view, no switch with mouse wheel
- bottom panel on the Laptop
The miniature view of each workspace in the workspace switcher takes up only the left half of the workspace area in the workspace switcher. See the attached screenshot zoomed in on the workspace switcher showing that only half of the active workspace is highlit and in use and the miniature view is scaled to fit (i.e. is stretched vertically). I could only include one attachment, otherwise I would have included a screenshot of the full screen as well.

I just unchecked "Use this output" (in the "Display" settings) for the Dell 23" (which was configured for "above" the laptop screen) to use only the laptop display, and then checked it again to use both, and the workspace switcher applet got even worse. It seems that ever time the I enable using another display, the workspace switcher adds another scaling factor. But I do not think is only a workspace switcher applet problem, because now there is a "dead" gap when I move my mouse from one display to the other, i.e. the mouse pointer moves down off the top display, but I have to move the mouse the height of the lower display before the mouse pointer shows up at the top of the lower display. I am attacing another screenshot.
