Public bug reported:
My son tried a puzzle game I installed from games multi verse. It crashed and
changed the screen resolution. The only available panel was on the bottom. That
panel did have any options. A forced pull the plug reboot was the only way out
of this. THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM< NOT THE PROBLEM>
To fix this I moved the top panel to the bottom so he could at least log out
and start over. I unexpanded the bottom panel. Then I moved the top panel to
the bottom and it worked great. In fact I liked it so much I decided to move
the top to the bottom on my own login. I did not unexpanded. I expected it to
just place the panel above the bottom panel. Here is the problem:
It did NOT simply put the panel above the bottom one, it simply put the panel
on top of the bottom one!!! This results in a huge computer error as to objects
can not occupies the same space at the same time. Ubuntu deals with this by a
blank flickering panel that is totally useless. This is the main control task
bar. At this point you can not do anything. You cannot even fix this. There are
no controls whatsoever. I even upgraded to a newer release and the problem is
still there. I can log in under another user but all the files under the other
user are still protected under the other user. I cant see any way around this
except to just lose all user information, data, and settings. Im sure glad my
windows system doesn't pull this crap!
