Attachments: NetBeans Dual-Screen Hints Popup Bug

Description urbas 2008-10-24 09:50:45 UTC 
Problem:
  Hints context menus pop up in the left screen when NetBeans runs in the right screen.

  For further detail refer to the attached screenshot.

  Looking at the screenshot, please note the NetBeans' editor on the right screen and how the tooltip pops up near the
hint bulb (near the left strip of the editor). However, the actual hint context menu is on the left screen (aligned to
the right).

  This bug is reproducible.


System configuration:
  Windows XP with a two-screen configuration (i.e.: two monitors; the main screen is on the left with the second screen
to its right).

Bug reproduction:
  1.) Open up the 'Display properties' (right-click on the desktop and select 'Properties'), enable the second screen
(and align it to the right of the main screen).

  2.) Run NetBeans

  3.) Open a Java source file and find a hint bulb in the Java editor.

  4.) Click on the hint bulb.
