Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575128 Title: unity dialogues split between 2 monitors Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04, Unity is now shown across both my monitors in a hard to use manner: unity dialogues, such as the log-out and shutdown popups, are displayed centered between both monitors, so the left half is on one monitor, and the right half on another. Also, the unity top panel indicators and clock used to be on both monitors, but are now only on the right monitor. More info since it is likely relevant: I have a Dell laptop with an NVidia Prime GPU and Intel built-in GPU. This laptop has always been trouble configuring for dual monitors. The nvidia-settings controls only shows one monitor, though it is supposed to show two. I have never been able to get a working xorg.conf for the two monitors, despited 2 days of trying (and I am a software developer well versed in reading docs). The instructions in the nvidia docs simply don't work as stated for this hardware (Dell XPS 17 L702X). Purging all graphics settings doesn't help. Upgrading to a newer nvidia driver didn't help (I've tried the latest official nvidia package as well as one newer). As a result, I've been using an xrandr command and compiz display settings since Ubuntu 15.10. This worked perfectly in 15.10. But, as stated, the unity top panel and dialogues are not working properly in 16.04. I tried Nvidia 361.42 and 364.19 from the PPA at http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu. The xrandr command in use is: xrandr --fb 3520x1080 --output HDMI-0 --preferred --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --panning 3520x1080+0+0/3520x1080+0+0/0/0/-3520/0 --output LVDS-1 --mode 1600x900 --pos 1920x180 --panning 0x0 (I know the fb sets up a wide virtual screen, but as stated, in 15.10, that worked perfectly for unity) In compiz display settings I have the following "Outputs" set: 1920x1080+0+0 1600x900+1920+180 It would appear in 16.04, Unity ignores the compiz outputs whereas in 15.10 it does not. But that's just a guess. Sorry I cannot get a screenshot of the dialogues. They seem to block Ubuntu's screenshot program due to their modal nature.
