Description therefromhere 2012-11-28 22:18:43 UTC 
Some dialogue boxes - at least "Confirm Import Settings" and "Can't refactor here" (PHP) are appearing almost off my screen - I think they're centred on the right-hand edge of the right-hand screen.

I suspect they're trying to be in the centre of my desktop and failing.

This is on a 2-monitor Ubuntu 12.04 machine, where the *right hand* screen is the primary one.

I also suspect this might be related to another (fixed) bug I reported for the same setup: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218322

Confirmed on 

netbeans-7.3beta2-php-linux.sh
and 
netbeans-trunk-nightly-201211270002-php-linux.sh

Java version:

$ java -showversion
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.5) (6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
Comment 1 therefromhere 2012-11-28 22:23:12 UTC 
Confirmed that changing the primary monitor to be the left-hand one fixes the problem.
Comment 2 Stanislav Aubrecht 2012-11-29 09:30:30 UTC 
Please attach a screen shot and reopen, thanks.
Also try running NetBeans with Oracle JDK 1.7

Screenshot of bugged dialogue

I'm not getting quite the same effect as before (possibly because I've toggled which is the primary monitor?)

Now with the right-hand screen as the primary, the dialogue appears close to the right edge of that screen - previously, it was further to the right (so the Yes button was onscreen but the No was off).

I believe this is supposed to be centred on the screen, since that's what happens when the left is the primary.

Same with openjdk

OK, so OpenJDK triggers the bug.

This screenshot is with openjdk (version as listed in ticket), and is the bug I was referring to.

The other screenshot from my previous comment was with Oracle jdk1.7.0_07
