Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Live previews get rendered at the wrong place for me when using my (strange) multi-monitor setup(VGA above LVDS).
"Live viewport previews" are not at the right place, they are below the "viewport switcher preview".

I think it has something to do with the displays having different height, however it's just a guess.

Confirmed. I'm on the latest Gutsy, also with my two outputs one above the other. The previews for the desktop switcher appear disembodied below where they should be.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
