Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1.2 (Build 201204101705) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.4 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_04 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.0-b21 I use a dual monitor setup. As soon as i move the IDE to the second monitor context menu's and pull down menu's are no longer working. They simply won't pop up. If i move the IDE window back to the first monitor everything is back to normal. I found this: http://www.java.net/external?url=http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7131912 but nobody seems to care.
This is a JDK bug reproducible with SwingSet demo app. When the SwingSet demo app is started with JDK 1.7 update 4 it shows on the secondary screen by default. When dragged back to primary screen, all dialog still open at the secondary. Also no tooltips are showing then. It works fine with JDK 1.6

so it's regression ... Tonda, could we escalate that ? ... very good candidate for 7u6 I would say

So, I've tried installing an updated version of Java, no love. Didn't work anyway >_>, Netbeans just kept using 1.7u4. Seeing as nobody else has posted a workaround here, I thought I'd share to save someone possibly having to figure it out for themselves.. If you look in /Library/Java or /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions you should have the old version of 1.6 installed. You can tell Netbeans to use 1.6 instead of the system default by modifying this file: /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.2.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf Obviously your version could be different. Add a value for `netbeans_jdkhome` to point to the 1.6 location. On my Mac OS 10.8 system (with XCode installed, if that makes a difference), I could simply use this: netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/Home" Save, and restart netbeans. This question on SO helped me, so credit where it's due: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2809366/changing-the-version-on-which-netbeans-runs/13187257
