Description x_cubed 2005-03-22 09:10:58 UTC 
I have a laptop running XP and NetBeans 4.0 with the 1.4.2_07 JDK. When at 
home, I plug in my 17" LCD to get the most out of NetBeans, but there is a bug 
with either Swing or NetBeans that means that all the menus dropdowns and 
dropdown lists are displayed on the primary monitor, rather the secondary 
monitor where NetBeans is running. Menus and dropdown lists are always 
displayed at the rightmost edge of the primary monitor suggesting that their 
position is being limited based on the size of the primary monitor, rather 
than the entire viewport.
This defect doesn't affect the main menu captions (eg: File, Edit, etc) or the 
dropdown controls themselves, only the windows that they create when activated.

Yes, it's a duplicate. Running NetBeans with the -J-Dnetbeans.popup.no_hack=true
option should fix the problem.
