Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-06-04 13:49:17 UTC
Those are default Swing tooltips implemented in JDK. There is no NetBeans code affecting the tooltip position.

Is this always reproducible with your monitor setup? Does the problem disappear when you detach from the external monitor?

BTW, in my Linux installation I am seeing the misplaced tooltips from time to time as well (single notebook display), but not only in NetBeans, also in various other apps.
Comment 3 Theofanis Oikonomou 2013-06-28 12:46:56 UTC
This is always reproducible for me. My exact setup:
Laptop monitor on the left and external monitor on the right.

If I use jdk 6u43 tooltips are positioned correctly.
If I use jdk 7u13 or even 7u25 tooltips are positioned correctly only if I have the IDE on the laptop monitor. If I move the IDE to the external monitor I get the tooltips from the screenshot. The tooltips seem to be moved to the right by the width size of my laptop monitor.

I have not seen any such behavior for other applications.
