Description Srirama Sharma 2005-11-28 12:42:03 UTC 
From our internal bug database.

Steps to simulate:
 - Set system up to operate in horizontal xinerama mode.
 - Create a new panel.
 - Move the panel.

Observation: 
The panel can be moved to the top, bottom, left and right of  primary screen
Also the panel can be moved to the top, bottom, left and right of  secondary screen

Expected:
Panel should only be allowed to locate at top and bottom of both screens or left
side of primary screen or right side of secondary screen.
The panel should not be allowed to position itself in the  middle of the virtual
screen

This bug is similar to the one mentioned in bug #90975.
Comment 2 Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2005-11-29 04:26:15 UTC 
Well it's a feature, nobody is forced to use it and I bet we will get someone
whinning if we remove it.
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-02-26 18:54:43 UTC 
Yes, this is a feature.  You are meant to be able to put panels on all the edges of all monitors.
