When NetBeans is used on a display setup with a smaller screen resolution than the last time the program was run, then the dialogs may appear off the screen. There is no way to get them back on the screen; the dialog does not appear in the taskbar. Steps to Repro: First, set things up in a high-resolution envrionment such as a multimonitor setup: 1. Plug in more than 1 monitor 2. Start NetBeans 3. Open a Java project 4. Right-click on the project and click on Project Properties 5. Drag the Project Properties window to the another monitor. Now, close NetBeans and unplug a screen. Reboot the computer if necessary. Finally, try to bring up the same dialog box. 1. Start NetBeans 2. Open a Java project 3. Right-click on the project and click on Project Properties The dialog will not appear.
Could you describe your configuration? Which OS, which Java version? Thanks
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Java version: 1.6.13 My left screen is 1280x1024 and the right screen is 1680x1050. Both are attached to a ThinkPad with a screen of 1440x900 and so, my exact circumstances were: 1. Dock and use NetBeans with the external screens. 2. Undock and (try to) use NetBeans with only the built-in screen.
I guess after fix the issue 174045 this problem should be also fixed. Could you verify it in some recent NB6.8 build (or NB6.8 Beta)? Thanks
