Description everflux 2012-06-07 11:01:56 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201206070001 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.4 ]

I am using a dual head setup on Linux with Nvidia TwinView. The git history
hint popup is shown on the wrong display.
I noticed that this happens for the startup splash screen as well, though I
really don't care about that one.
I will attach a screenshot to illustrate the issue.

The same holds true for alert boxes/dialogs, for example when creating a new test case without having junit libraries the junit version chooser is on wrong display.

Reporter, please run SwingSet demo app using the same JDK and check how tooltips and dialog windows are positioned.
Reopen if SwingSet demo is showing tooltips and dialogs correctly, thanks.

Re-tested with JDK 1.7.7 and Netbeans 7.2. I could not reproduce the problem.

Note: The swingset demo JNLP link is broken (redirect to oracle start page), but it is included in the JDK demo bundle download.
