screenshot describing the bug
Actually it happens when the entire popup menu can not be placed in explorer window. So make explorer window as thin as possible and try to call popup menu on some node after that. Try adding this -Dnetbeans.popup.linuxhack=true to the jreflags variable in the launcher script or invoke the script with -J-Dnetbeans.popup.linuxhack=true command line arg. I hope it is documented somewhere - if not that is really a documentation bug. Please use: -J-Dnetbeans.popup.linuxhack=true Since this problem still exists, I'm marking this issue with RELNOTE to flag it for the release notes of future releases. Suggested text: When right-clicking a node, the contextual menu appears in the upper-left corner of the screen. This bug only occurs with some Linux window managers. Workaround: In the IDE's installation directory, open the bin directory. Open the ide.cfg file and add the following option: -J-Dnetbeans.popup.linuxhack=true Does this bug persist under any version of JDK 1.4? If not, we should remove the workaround system property from the trunk. Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing. removing RELNOTE keyword |
