What happens when the mouse pointer issue is fixed and I find icons end up in this dead area? At the moment I can rescue them by drawing a selection box around a visible icon and those icons off the screen. Then, using the visible icon, I drag this group of icons until I can see them all on the desktop. I thought I would add a link to the Ubuntu forums where I have just made a post with the other relevant multi-monitor bugs in case it is of help to anyone. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10384602&postcount=17 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389519 Title: [Needs 1.11]Cursor can move off-screen when dual-monitors do not form rectangular area To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/389519/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
