Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
When connecting an external monitor the panel appears at the top of the
external monitor, but the desktop area is completely black. In
addition, there is a black strip at the top of my primary screen. As I
mouse over the launcher on the left the tool tips appear and never go
away and some of the icons are "scrambled". Will attach a screenshot
that will likely demonstrate the conditions.
I tried using the Ubuntu, Ubuntu Classic, Ubuntu Classic (No effects)
and Unity 2D sessions and only the Ubuntu session exhibited this
behaviour. Dual monitors worked fine in all the other sessions, so
afaict this is not a problem specific to xorg, the Intel drivers or
compiz (though I can't conclude it doesn't involve those components).
Please let me know what other information would be useful.
