Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Ubuntu 10.10 Beta

This is related to Bug 188422

My Clock is positioned on a panel at the bottom of the screen. In previous releases of Ubuntu (and I'm reasonably sure the first few days of my 10.10 Beta testing) clicking on Clock would display the Calender immediately above it and neatly against the RH edge of screen.

Now selecting Clock throws up the Calendar box detached from the Clock at the top of the screen and (as reported in bug 188422) if you add two (or more) locations the top of the box floats out of the screen area.

See screen shot attached.

I have attached a picture of the problem with the calender off the top of the screen when the clock is on the bottom panel. Note you can only see a slight bar at the top right corner of the screen.

Hi Crucias, I’m a Ubuntu user who is affected by this problem as well. I think our issues, and some other issues already reported, are in fact identical. I’ve taken the liberty to mark this as a duplicate of bug #631664, I’ve read the descriptions of the various bugs carefully, but if I confused some bugs or if you think I’m wrong, please undo my action. If I understand bug #631664 correctly, compiz is the culprit. Maybe you could verify if your issue is related by testing to see if the bug still occurs if you disable compiz (desktop effects)?

Hi,
Even I am facing this problem of Calendar. The trick part is that if I move the panel to the top, the Calendar pops at the right place. And when I move it back to the bottom of the screen, it does not works. The calender is way beyond the screen limits.
