Comment 36 for bug 661450

I can confirm that this occurs to me using the "final" production installation (11.04) as well. The secondary screen has black areas which seems to be available to opened applications but I cannot see. Please find five screenshots attached explaining what is wrong:

1. Setting both monitors to their native resolution results in black areas which seems to be there but I cannot see (laptop: 1280 x 800; external monitor 1280 x 1024)
2. Setting my external monitor to the correct resolution (1280 x 1024) and the laptop monitor to a slightly lower resolution (laptop: 1024 x 768) does not solve the matter
3. Set both monitors up as 1024 x 768 (the highest resolution denominator between the two screens) which seems to have made it work-able BUT the toolbar animation is not redrawn correctly and you can see "ghost"
4. More animation errors.
5. Switching back to just using one monitor (the laptop) resulted in an area of the monitor on the right not being accessible.

My set up is as follows:
Laptop Sony VAIO VGN-SZ60MN
Monitor Dell 19" (1280 1024)

All these worked in Ubuntu 10 and I have to say that being a newbie to this I did not expect production release to be this buggy. This has really dented my faith in Ubuntu and no doubt many other newbie as well. This is such a shame as I was just building my confidence up in using Linux instead of Windows.

I really hope that this will be given a high priority and fixed soon.

Many Thanks,
Hoi
