Comment 18 for bug 661450

When I have a window on my primary screen, and I click maximize, it moves the window to the secondary screen, and makes it very tall, narrow, and skinny. I expected it to take up all the room possible on the current screen I was on, the primary screen.

This is very annoying, and unless its resolved, it makes me unlikely to use Unity once it rolls out, or just not even upgrade my production workstation.
I have two monitors, HDMI (1920x1080), and laptop screen. I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 beta today.

I tried maximizing a few different programs, and each does something slightly different when I try to maximize it. For each of these I had the program open on the primary screen (screen with the Unity launcher) and the window was using much of the screen, but not all.

Chrome becomes very skinny and narrow, and goes to secondary monitor.
Software Center maximizes full screen on secondary monitor.
NetBeans disappears altogether. I gotta click its icon in the Unity launcher to make its title become the title bar, then I gotta double click the title bar to make it unmaximize and become visible (it goes back to it previous shape/size I had before clicking maximize).
Gedit goes to secondary screen maximized.
Terminal disappears just like NetBeans did.

Monitors are configured using NVIDIA X Server Settings, which works well enough at getting multiple monitors.
