Description thomasbarnett 2011-06-02 17:48:41 UTC 
Created attachment 108680 [details]
Tooltip position when IDE is stretched over two monitors

NetBeans IDE 7.0 RC1 (Build 201103280000)
1.6.0_25; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.0-b11
Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86

This is monitors side-by-side
|_|_|

This larger view shows how Netbeans straddles monitors, Project pane stretched into left monitor
|  n|nnn|
|  n|nnn|
|  n|nnn|
<- stretch direction

This is where hover tip y of x appears
|  n|nnn|
|  x|ynn|
|  n|nnn|

The previous may be deceptive. So, note the following
| nn|nnn|
| xn|ynn|
| nn|nnn|

or
|nnn|nnn|
|xnn|ynn|
|nnn|nnn|

Hover tip always starts from the left edge of the right-hand monitor
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2011-10-25 10:32:11 UTC 
i have reproduced this bug with a plaing swing app (swingset demo)
it seems the ToolTipManager gets confused where to display the tooltip popup if it is close to screen edges.
