"Software Updater" same issue has appeared again in Unity 7.0.0

I arrived at this bug thread via
http://askubuntu.com/questions/305069/software-updater-window-not-displaying-though-open-in-13-04
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Updater
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1001067
which shows as duplicate of this bug.

I have a common property that the askubuntu members had - dual screen.
Not sure why that may be an issue, but mentioned as it is common to their descriptions.

Also note that contrary to the others, I never experienced this issue in Unity 5.x or 6.x

For me, the issue is worthy of observation, but I use the command line for updates and upgrades so it's not really a problem for me.
It'd be nice to see the issue fixed in 7.0.0 though.
Regression errors can be tricky.
