GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 653413
Top bar blocks window move to secondary monitor located physically above the primary
Last modified: 2011-06-26 10:32:40 UTC
When at home, my laptop sits on a desk physically below a larger, secondary monitor. I have the displays configured in the system settings so that the connected monitor is logically above the laptop monitor, and moving the mouse off the top of the laptop screen moves it to the connected monitor, as expected. Under the Gnome 3 shell, the top bar appears on the laptop monitor, not the secondary monitor. When trying to move a window onto the secondary monitor it is blocked by the top bar. It would be most convenient of the top bar were placed on the monitor that the display settings list as the top most. It would also be convenient if the top bar could be positioned at the bottom of the monitor instead.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 636963 ***

Created attachment 190686 [details] Showing remaining shadowed bar after moving top bar to secondary monitor. Just an FYI. As suggested, I used the System Settings -> Display to moved the top bar to the secondary monitor. A transparent, shaded bar remained on the primary monitor, but this does not seem to interfere with operation of the desktop
Thank you, folks, for the resolution. Gnome 3 is good work!
