Public bug reported: The virtual desktop picker provided by Compiz/Unity does not clean up animation-artifacts when used on a stacked monitor configuration with mismatched display sizes (laptop panel below, large secondary external LCD panel above).
I've attached a screenshot demonstrating the issue. It looks like the blank areas of the screen aren't being cleared on the top monitor. Also, while mirror images of the picker are shown on both the top and bottom monitor, only the bottom picker is interactive. I can click on the top part, but the it has no effect. A quick fix might be to prevent the picker from writing any output to the top display? I defer to someone who knows the codebase on that one, but the bottom display (the primary LCD) does seem to be behaving more- or-less as it should.
