[ubuntu-studio-users] Dual-head 1080P setup - some windows can'[t be moved on the far end of the secondary monitor

[Mike Squires]

I have a home desktop running Ubuntu Studio 16.04 (Supermicro X7DAE, 
dual Xeon, ATI R430 card with two HP 1080P monitors set up as a single 
3840x1080 pixel window.

Some application windows - the "Print" dialog box when printing from 
"evince" is an example - disappear when moved more than about 25% of the 
way to the far edge of secondary monitor.

This does not happen with most applications.  If the left edge of the 
window is visible then the window can usually be dragged to the left so 
that the entire window can be seen (and used).  This would not be a 
problem except that some applications seem to have their own ideas about 
where to open dialog boxes like the "Print" window.

This system dual-boots Windows 7 Enterprise (Ubuntu Studio is now more 
stable for me) and I don't see this with Windows 7.

I'm wondering if there is a library that has a built-in limit of the 
width of a window that is much less than 3840.
