Description Matthias Clasen 2014-06-11 17:22:10 UTC
We took a late fix for handling of vertically stacked monitors with gnome-shell into 7.0. This change is causing menus of qt applications to be mispositioned.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730527

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2014-06-11 17:31:02 UTC
Florian is work on a fix. Fixing this entirely may require changes to both gnome-shell and nautilus.

I'm still testing (and need to write a proper commit message), but I'm cautiously optimistic that a single (and simple) mutter patch fixes all issues sufficiently well.
(apparently we were wrong about nautilus using the primary monitor, so there is no issue with system chrome overlaying desktop icons - I don't think the current behavior is right and will address it upstream, but I don't think it is an urgent problem we need to address in RHEL)

Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2014-10-09 11:26:51 UTC
The more important patches apply to mutter, so reassigning; I'll use bug 1075240 for the gnome-shell bits.
