This bug is particularly bad when showing a LibreOffice presentation on two screens in extended mode. The Unity panel shadow obscures the top of the presentation, which looks really ugly. See the attached screenshot for an example.
I doubt this is intentional, so I'm changing the status from Opinion; apologies if this is incorrect. ** Attachment added: "Unity shadow hiding LibreOffice presentation.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/967294/+attachment/3115615/+files/Unity%20shadow%20hiding%20LibreOffice%20presentation.png ** Changed in: unity Status: Opinion => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
