It seems Guake terminal is not aware of the Unity sidebar being hidden. Even when the sidebar is hidden, it still shows with a left offset that is based on the width of the sidebar.
Additionally, the width of the terminal is not decreased by the width of the left offset, which causes the terminal to appear on my second monitor as well.
Is there a way to fix this?

As a work-around, you can adjust the Guake terminal width to less then 100% of the screen width.
Make a backup of
/usr/lib/guake/guake.py
for Ubuntu 12.04 and for Ubuntu 12.10 and newer, backup/usr/bin/guake
file.Open a terminal and run the following command:
For Ubuntu 12.04:
For Ubuntu 12.10 (or newer) Guake versions, use the following command instead:
Then scroll down to somewhere around line 780-820 which says
width = 100
- this is how it looks like:And modify the width value (percentage) to whatever you want. Save the file, restart Guake and that's it.
