Bug Description

I have a two monitor set up, in a side by side configuration (left monitor is laptop 1440x900, right monitor is external 1920x1200). When mousing over the global menu on the right monitor (e.g,. upper left portion of the right monitor) I can access the menus that are normally in the upper right - i.e., the calendar, the sound menu, etc. There is no visible indicator that they are there - the panel indicators are in the upper right of both screens as expected. I can reproduce this reliably when I have an app that has a global menu with 3-4 options in it (i.e,. of sufficient length). Screenshot of the calendar appearing in the midst of the Thunderbird global menu attached (but I can reproduce with other apps with menus of sufficient length and with things other than the calendar).

Expected behaviour? Menus showing up where they are supposed to, and nowhere else!
