I am running Oneiric Beta 1 on a laptop with an external monitor.

When I have an application on the external monitor, and when it has focus, I expect to see the menu bar on that monitor as the global menu. The app name does appear in the upper left as expected, but even when I move the mouse up there, the menu bar doesn't appear. However, the menu bar is active on the laptop screen but it is unusable because the menu bar doesn't actually appear. If you click where the menu bar should be, you get the drop down menus. But the "File", "Edit", etc don't actually appear.

So,
- the app name appears in the upper left of the correct screen, but the menu bar doesn't
- the menu bar doesn't appear on the wrong screen, but it acts as if it's there (i.e,. you can use the menus)

Expected behaviour:
- the menu bar appears on the screen that is displaying the app
- it actually appears when mouse is there
