Hi. I have discovered the reason for this issue.
It is not a bug, per say, though the interface and the information given to the user are confusing and "broken" The reason that normal and 180 degrees are not made available in the screen display settings is that UNITY (which i Hate btw) uses your graphics card's 3D rendering (lord knows why) by default. What you will find is that the maximum horizontal size of your threeD rendering space is less than the width of your two minitors combined. So the interface does not show that option. This is also why the normal a rotation is available normally IF you log out and set the session to "Ubuntu 2D" all these problems will disappear. Secondly I think the way that tranqy was spoken to is totally outside the premise of Ubuntu and of LaunchPad and of this bug. Sebastien, you clearly did not take the time to understand this bug and were rude to a user for no reason and sent someone away from the Ubuntu community. Shame on you.
