This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Under Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon 1.6), if Netbeans is in Full Screen mode, every dialog window opens "behind" the main window and it cannot be accessed using the mouse. The only workaround is to press the key the shows the Mint Menu in the bottom left then you can see the dialog and try to close it. This behaviour does not occur in normal screen mode.
Examples of hidden dialogs are the ones opened by "Find usages" and "Replace" commands.
Please attach your IDE log and JDK version info and reopen, thanks.

$ java -version java version "1.7.0_09" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (7u9-2.3.3-0ubuntu1~12.10.1) OpenJDK Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
Cannot reproduce on Ubuntu 12.4 with JDK 1.7 update 9
I can confirm this problem is present on Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon), which is based on Ubuntu 12.10 with OpenJDK 1.7u9, but has a different window manager. I think the problem is caused by the interaction between OpenJDK swing elements and the new Cinnamon desktop environment instead of Gnome.

This happens with Gnome 3 as well (f.e. Options dialog)
