Johannes's description is accurate for the bug in my experience. In addition I have notice that the problem with the shadow being drawn can occur on the presenter console as well.
This also links to a wishlist item bug #853865 where I describe this aspect as follows; "If I click within the external display, that shadow disappears from the audience view, and appears on the presenter view. When I click on the presenter view on the laptop screen, the shadow returns to the audience view..." This behaviour does allow one to remove the visible shadow from the audience view, albeit temporarily. The wish list bug also asks for the top panel to be optional on the audience (external) display, as the launcher now is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956863 Title: Top panel shadow is drawn above presentation when using LO Impress with Presenter Console Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1) Add libreoffice-presenter-console 1.1.0+LibO3.5.0-2ubuntu1 2) Create/open a presentation 3) Run Presentation (F5) 4) We have a bar on the top (see attachment) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice-impress 1:3.5.0-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.29-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 16 11:34:03 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-12 (3 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/956863/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
