Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

See attached screenshot of my second monitor. The global menu is aligned with a point off the edge of the screen, so the time is cut off (as is the indicator following the date/time).

I'm running nvidia-current 270.41.06-0ubuntu1.

I am having the same issue on AMD64, ATI card with proprietary drivers.

My system is a laptop with my laptop screen defined as the main screen, and my monitor as my secondary screen, which is on the left of my laptop. The indicators on my monitor panel are completely fine, however the indicators on my laptop panel are pushed off to the right, off the screen. This doesn't happen at startup, I can't figure out when it starts, however I have found that quitting applications that are on my panel of only my monitor pushes the indicators on my laptop panel even further off the screen to the right.

I have attached a screenshot of my entire desktop.
