Not a real bug, but wrong positioning. On NB6.5 (and almost all version) on CTRL+space brings up autocompletion window, and documentation window. On one screen systems (one monitor), it is almost every time is in right side. Sometimes bottom/upside. But fully visible. The problem is with more monitors (desktops). (When GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices() returns more than one result) In my case: two monitor. Lef is #1 (with windows start menu and icons on this desktop), right is #2. Both in high resolution. (1680x1050 and 1600x1200) Netbeans runs in screen #2, in fullscreen mode. When in java editor the code completion shows, and documentation is positioned, mostly positioned oin left side of code completion window. In this case the left side (about 20%-30%) of documentation window is on screen #1, and remainder is on screen #2. This makes documentation almost unreadable. Especialy when the two monitor is in long distance to each oter. ps. Sorry for my english.
can you provide screen shot please?
Jirko, this is most likely going to be general problem with positioning code completion windows and is likely to affect all languages, not just java.
Yada, is the checkbox in 'Tools-Options -> Editor -> General -> Display Documentation Next to Completion' ticked or not? Thanks
Created attachment 75211 [details] nb6.5 placement error
Hi! Sorry for long silence. The problem still exists (in final nb6.5). Both with 'Tools-Options -> Editor -> General -> Display Documentation Next to Completion' checked/unchecked. This screenshot made on bigger desktop, but effect is same. (1680x1050 and 1920x1200) But for now, appears less times.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
