Bug Description

Binary package hint: notify-osd

If I change the resolution of my panel, subsequent notifications are off the screen.

For example, my laptop panel is 1400x1050 and notifications appear at the top left, on screen (although partially covering the panel - covered by bug 330294). If I change my screen resolution (perhaps I'm using an external display - or maybe for any other reason [in my case using a lower resolution for screencasting]) the notification dialog goes off the screen. Screenshot to follow.

For completeness, if I change resolution back to the native previous resolution of 1400x1050, new notifications appear on screen.

I used xrandr -s WxH to change resolution.

This is something on my personal "wishlist" too. I will get to that soon.

Same here, when I start with 1024x768 landscape and then switch to portrait 1280x1024, then notifications are only partially visible. If I switch to 1280x1024 landscape, it gets ok.

This command fixes notification positions:

With respect, that's _not_ a "fix". :)

My laptop screen native resolution is 1280x800. It is possible to have the notifications disappear off the screen altogether when the resolution is set to 800x600. They are partly visible when the resolution is 1024x768.
