karoly.vegh (karoly-vegh) wrote : maximizing windows in a dualscreen setup goes awry

Binary package hint: unity

I have a notebook, using it with an external monitor attached to it in a dual-screen setup (See attached screenshots, the little screen is that of the notebook, the large screen is that of the external monitor attached to the top of the notebook's screen.

If I maximize windows, two things go wrong:

1) the maximized windows always end up on the large screen, all the same if it was originally on the smaller one.
2) their top window-frame-bar (containing the minimize-maximize-close buttons) ends up on the top of the small screen.

See screenshots: Screenshot-1 is showing the situation before maximizing, Screenshot-2 shows the situation after maximizing.

I am not 100% sure, but I guess this is only this way since my last natty update.
