Bug Description

I have established a dual monitor setup successfully with my Ubuntu 15.04 (with default display settings and Unity 7.3.2).

The first is a built-in display (1) and it belongs to my laptop (1366 x 768px), the second screen (2) is my external monitor (1920 x 1080px). Whenever I add a new icon on my Desktop, new icons visually disappear, since they go within the invisible area (marked with yellow) on a smaller display.

I'm sure this is a bug, but I wonder if there's any temporary workaround for this (except deleting the existing icons from my Desktop), eg. to forbid using the area marked with yellow, so the new icons could show up somewhere on the visible area?
