Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I have a dual screen setup. I have a maximized window on the left screen and I'm filling this bug report on the right screen. The application menu indicator is only shown in the right screen and I can't see the title of the window maximized on the left screen.

I think that the correct configuration is to have one application menu indicaton on each screen showing the title or menu of the topmost window on each screen.

Thank you for this bug report. Could you try updating your version of Unity to 3.8.8 and then try reproducing this again? Right now I can't reproduce this with Unity 3.8.8 so maybe its fixed.

Also it would be better if you also provide a screenshot to demonstrate this bug.
