Description bobuse 2008-05-14 09:43:12 UTC 
I'm encountering some difficulties with windows placement since I'm using 6.5 dev version.
My main NB window is on the left screen, and when I undock (by the menu) a window, the window is undocked on the right 
screen. And then, when I want to move this window, the behaviour is very strange !
I can't move this window to the left screen. When my window reach the left side of the right screen, the window 
reappear on the right of the right screen ! And if I move to the right, it makes a swap to another virtual desktop and 
reappear on the left side.
It is very annoying …

The bug exists too in NB 6.1 !

The bug exists too in NB 6.1 !
But not in 6.0.1

I'd expect that the right monitor is the default monitor, right?
Could you provide more details? What is your OS, what is your JDK, what NB build. What virtual desktop you use, etc.
thank you.

No info for a long time, closing. I think bug isn't related to Netbeans, perhaps some misconfiguration of virtual screen
utilities...
