Description snilek 2014-05-05 22:24:46 UTC 
SUMMARY:
The position of the fast file-switcher on CTRL-TAB is fixed to the center of the screen. After the change of the screen resolution (e.g. after changing output displays), the switcher is at the same nominal coordinates and therefore NOT in the center of the screen anymore. The IDE has to be restarted for the switcher to be in the center again.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Start the IDE
2. Change the screen resolution
3. Invoke CTRL-TAB switcher.
4. -> the switcher is not in the center of the screen.


POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS/ENHANCEMENTS (just ideas):
A) update the switcher position after resolution change (i.e. check the resolution)
...or...
B) always center the switcher relative to the IDE window and not relative to the screen (better solution imho).


Thanks & best regards,
Jan Jansky

This is a JDK bug reproducible with a plain Java application (at least when running in VirtualBox) - GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDefaultConfiguration() returns the same screen dimensions even after screen resolution change.
