Background

(This problem does not occur in Unity 2D)

When moving a window around, and putting the cursor to the top of a screen, the orange box expands across the screen and you let go and the window goes full screen.... At least, it's supposed to.

When I'm NOT in Unity2D (i.e. Unity 3D or simply "Unity" as it shows when I log in), I can put the window full screen on my Right-Side monitor, but if I push the window to the top of the left monitor and let go, it snaps to Full-Screen on the RIGHT monitor !!!!!

It's really frustrating, because of course the whole purpose of having two monitors is to be able to view different things at the same time.

Question

Does anyone know what is causing this?

I feel like maybe it's accepting the right side monitor as the "Primary" or something like that. It only occurs sometimes, not constantly. It only started doing it since the update to 12.04. Also, Compiz process is running and taking a LOT of my processor, even if the computer is doing nothing. My CPU used to idle at around 30-31C, but now just sitting there, it's around 39-41C....12.04 is sucking big time right now in my opinion (not worth much).

Thanks for the input!

I had dual boot, Win7 64bit, and Ubuntu 11.10

I updated to Ubuntu 12.04

Now I am not met with the prompt asking which OS to boot into (setup via EasyBCD in Windows while I had Ubuntu 11.10)

Is there an easy way to get the boot manager to recognize both OS's again, or do I need to reinstall Windows again and go through that headache again? Any programs similar to EasyBCD for Ubuntu?

Thanks

I first had Ubuntu 11.10 installed on a single partition on my 750GB hard drive.

I then partitioned the hard drive to 500GB (for Ubuntu) in ext4 format (what it already was from the clean install of Ubuntu)....and 250GB for Win7 in NFTS format.

Then I installed Win7 onto that 250GB partition. Installation went smoothly and I was successfully booted into Win7 and setting everything up. After I was done doing all the stupid updates from Microsof, I thought I was done and I wanted to go back to Ubuntu.

This is where the problem starts

Of course I reboot and it goes directly to Win7. I research and find that Win7 has overwritten the Ubuntu bootloader, etc etc.. I don't fully understand it.

I download EasyBCD 2.1.2

In EasyBCD, I select "Add New Entry" and select "Linux/BSD" and change the type to "GRUB 2" and name it "Ubuntu"

Next, I go to "BCD Deployment" and select "Install the Windows Vista/7 bootloader to the MBR" and click "Write MBR"

I reboot, select "Ubuntu" and the purple screen comes up, but NOTHING HAPPENS.

If I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, it goes to the Login menu where it acts normal for about 10-15 seconds, then freezes. It does this repeatedly every time.

MY QUESTION:

What's wrong here? Why can't I load Ubuntu now? Am I going to have to reinstall Ubuntu with Windows, then set up the bootloader with EasyBCD instead of Ubuntu, THEN Win7?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Currently what happens:

I press Calculator button on my keyboard, and calculator pops up. No problem there! Next, after my calculation, I click back to the window where I'm inputting the calculation, and when I press the calculator button again, a NEW window opens in the calculator program.

What I want to happen:

When I click the calculator button, it switches back to the calculator program if it's already open, else, open calculator program. I don't want it to open a new window every time I try to change back to my recent calculation.

It's not a big deal, obviously, just a slight annoyance to me so far. Is there a setting, or some terminal command I can run, or anything I can do to change it?

Thanks!
