Public bug reported:
I ran the July 7 update at about 1AM CST last night, and it totally
threw my monitor out of calibration. The alignment was shifted to the
left so far that the left panel became invisible. The fonts were made
larger.
I had to mess with the monitors setting to even get my left panel back
to check for further updates today, but my entire left panel is bunching
up on itself on the top, so that the top application icons in are all on
top of each other.
I hope I am reporting this the proper way, but your system for reporting
bugs is very confusing. I am surprised I even got this far, as it is not
very intuitive how to do bug reports these days. :(
BTW, this is the second time I have had an update screw up my computer
in the last month. I'm starting to lose faith in the security of these
security updates, as only a hacker would probably know how to get
through all the submission hurdles to make these kind of changes.
Also, it might help to know that I am using gnome metacity, so this may
be limited to those of us using that. The default was slow as molasses
on my old computer and the application choice on the their generic panel
were not very intuitive, so I had to switch back to gnome.
So I am not going to update my other computer till this is resolved. It
was clearly an update issue, as it was working fine till I ran the
update and restarted my computer. My apologies if this is a duplicate
report, but I did not see it on the list of recent bug reports. I'm just
doing the best I can keeping my system bug free. Cheers.
The attached pic is what my screen looks like AFTER fiddling with the
monitor settings to get the panel far enough to the right that I could
see and use it, but after the update it was all very much to the left
and much larger.
