Bug Description

Dialog boxes of applications opened on the second screen (side by side mode) are displayed hidden behind the main application window.
The same problem does not happen if the application is open on the first screen.

When trying to take a screenshot to send here the image is updated and the dialog is displayed over the main application window.

How to reproduce it:
Open gnome text editor and when open preferences dialog. If you do it on the first screen you can see the dialog box but do it on the second screen you cannot see the dialog box.

No LSB modules are available.
