GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 789824
Multiple monitors (one in portrait mode) searching for apps in activity overview causing graphical issues

Created attachment 362840 [details] Screenshot after hitting windows key and searching (two monitors) Having a secondary monitor in landscape mode works flawlessly in 17.10. However, problems arise when I set a monitor to portrait mode. One thing that happens is when I bring my mouse to the edge of the screen, I see the cursor mirrored on the second screen. (As mentioned in 789675: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789675) The main issue is when I hit the windows key and try to search for an application. The results look all scrambled and my secondary monitor is displayed in landscape mode with all of my windows. Look at my bug attachment to see a screenshot of what happens when I press the windows/super key and try to search for a program. On the left is my secondary monitor in portrait mode. When moving Windows to that monitor, it works as it should, but when I hit the Windows/super key to show all of my open windows, it displays in landscape. On the right is my main monitor in landscape mode. In that screen I was searching for my GEdit program. Specs: Integrated Intel graphics card Ubuntu 17.10
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
