Problems with multiple monitors and Unity

$

Hi all,

 

I'm having some problems with Unity on my multiple-monitor setup and hope someone here has some magic for me.

 

My setup:

  • Late-2013 Macbook Pro 15 with Retina Display with Mavericks
  • 2x Dell 24" external monitors, connected via thunderbolt-to-DVI
  • VMWare Fusion 6.0.2
  • Windows 7 VM

 

The problem:

When I enable Unity, all the windows bounce to the main (notebook) display.  Fine.

I try to move  any window to the second display, it starts moving and showing up on the secondary monitor.  But partway into the second display, the side of the window turns black. 

 

It *appears* that this occurs at what would be at the 1920 pixel boundary if the notebook display (taking retina out of the question) were stretched over to the second monitor, if that makes sense.

 

What I've done (no difference in symptoms from any of these):

  • reinstalled vmware tools
  • done as much as I can to disable spaces (I think)
  • told the mac to not autoswitch between graphics cards
  • restarted both the host and the guest
  • disabled UAC in the guest
  • told vmware to use all monitors when going full screen

 

I'd love if anyone can offer suggestions on how to get this working properly.

 

Thanks!

 

Kevin
