Public bug reported:
I'm running a pair of stacked monitors, with a larger (2048x1152)
display above, and a smaller (1366x768 laptop panel) below. The laptop
panel is set as the primary display.
When placing windows on the top (larger) monitor, window-placement is
restricted. I can only place the window in certain regions of the
screen. I haven't completely figured out the rules, but it seems as if
the window-placement restrictions are dictated by the position of the
lower monitor relative to the top monitor in the Display Settings. If I
place the lower display in the "center" of the upper monitor, I can
place windows on either side of the upper display. I can, however,
resize the windows so that they cover most of the screen.
Also, when I open a new window, it's often placed into a narrow vertical
strip at the side of one of the display.
My guess is that the window manager used by Gnome 3.2 isn't taking in to
account the vertical configuration of the displays incorrectly when it's
trying to figure out how where it can and can't place windows.
I'll be happy to provide more detailed information on request, but
someone has GOT to have reported this bug before...!
