Description jayllo 2007-12-07 21:51:01 UTC 
I have a 3 monitor setup, I drag various window components such as the navigator box, or palette from the main ide frame
such that they form their own frame (existing in a separate jframe) on another monitor (so if the netbeans ide is on
monitor B, and I created two separate frames on A & C) upon shutdown of the IDE then startup, all the jframes are
recreated but their positions all end up on monitors A & B, none end up on C. In essence the original positions of the
jframes are not respected.

I also have to say, maximizing a jframe takes several seconds and causes the IDE to lock up. If you could fix that
performance issue everything would be golden. 

Thanks.

I have to add, with some more experimentation the dependent components that show up also have their window positions
reset, just by toggling between say a JSP & a java file (the palette will reappear in the netbeans monitor unless
anchored to a jframe that has a component which is not changing, such as navigator).

uff, uff, decreasing priority to P4. It seems as real corner case for me. 
I'd like to see a picture of your work enviroment ;)

thank you for report

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
