Bug Description

I have a dual monitor set up. When I click "Workspace Switcher" on Unity, the left monitor shows all 4 dual-monitor workspaces. The right monitor chops off half of the first workspaces (screen attached). The left monitor resolution (1650) is actually smaller than the right one as well (1920).

I don't think this is a correct dupe. Bug #919220 is taking about screen corruption of the workspace switcher. This bug is talking about incorrect placement of the desktops, but it is still rendered correctly.
