I use two monitors as a single large desktop. I put the NetBeans GUI on the left-hand screen. All properties popups and other new windows appear centered on the desktop which puts them right across my monitor boundary. It would be nice if new windows positioned themselves with respect to the main NetBeans window rather than the desktop. It would be ideal if this behaviour could be controlled by a preference.
I also am seeing similar problems under Windows XP and Netbeans 3.6 Using two monitors (laptop LCD and external 19" CRT). Pop-ups, menus, and tooltips all appear on the laptop screen (it doesn't span to both screens). All other apps funtional normally.
Still valid I guess.
fixed in trunk. was tested on winxp and macosx. no more netbeans popup hacks, just swing.
